Sleight of Hand [Magician, Progression, Book 1 Complete]

Great street magicians perform fake miracles every day. Now Evel needs a real one.

His one advantage is Eth — an invisible hand that perfectly obeys his will, bound by a single, crushing refusal: it will not harm. Thrown into a deadly recruitment trial, where powered fighters clash for a place in the Tempor's ranks, a pacifist tool should be a death sentence. But where they expect a clash of titans; Evel will give them a masterclass in deception.

A master of misdirection knows that what the eye sees, the mind believes...

And nobody's watching the hand.

What to expect:

♠ Intense combat where every advantage needs to be exploited

♦ Bluffing, scheming, improvisation 

♣ Cultivation-inspired progression with evolving abilities.

♥ Side characters with their own agendas and goals outside of MC
