Colter Cain, tormented by unknown adversaries, stumbles into a life he never expected. Dovelets Academy of the Astrological Arts, a hidden haven for practitioners of the astrological order, reveals a shocking truth: Colter is destined to wield dark magic with powers unlike any other–the power to grant immortality.

But the light of revelation casts a long shadow. Dovelets has a troubled past with dark magic, and Colter's abilities are viewed with both selfish intrigue and general suspicion.

The Fellowship seeks to control the power he possesses, and they won't hesitate to claim it, by force if necessary.

Thrown into a world of intrigue and danger, Colter must navigate a treacherous path. Who can he trust? Who is friend, and who is foe? As he discovers the beauty in embracing the darkest parts of life, new questions arise: How will Colter protect himself? As his powers develop, will he be capable of saving the reputation of Scorpio practitioners at Dovelets?

Join Colter on a thrilling journey of self-discovery in Scorpio Rising, the explosive first book of Anthony Scott’s Age of Cain Saga—A Dovelets Story.
