Sonea, a young mage from humble beginnings, has caught the eye of the powerful High Lord Akkarin. Though she's an outcast among the other novices, Akkarin takes her under his wing, and the price of his protection is Sonea's silence about his mysterious past. Meanwhile, Akkarin's former protégé, Dannyl, has been sent on a perilous quest to uncover ancient magical knowledge—a search that could unravel secrets that Akkarin would kill to keep hidden. As Sonea and Dannyl's paths converge, they must each decide how far they'll go to protect the ones they love.
