The aging King of the Union lies on his deathbed, and his nobles sharpen their knives. Rebels rise from the peasantry, eager to tear down the old order. Only the First of the Magi stands between the Union and utter ruin, if she dares to wield her dangerous powers. As the shadow of war falls, the race is on to decide the fate of a kingdom on the brink.
