Dio's life isn't going the way he planned. He barely sees his wife, who prefers to stay at home with their daughter rather than pursue her career with him. His daughter is not excelling in school and seems to have no interest in her magic whatsoever. And his own scientific career... When was the last time he had a breakthrough? That his colleagues took him seriously? That he did anything worthwhile at all? When his young colleague, who has barely joined the lab, announces a discovery that will aid Midoka's future for centuries, Dio can't take his own lack of success any longer. Desperate to find something and gain recognition, he experiments with forces he doesn't understand... And stumbles upon a new plane of reality as a result. He could have all the recognition and success he's always wanted, not just for himself but also for his family-- But he doesn't know what he's truly found, and he certainly doesn't understand the forces at work in his discovery. Set many centuries before the Relics of Ar'Zac and Blood Wisp series, The Price of Pride is the story of one man, his ambition... and his inevitable corruption and fall to darkness. This is the story of the Mists' discovery and the Dark One's beginning, long before either was known as such.
