In the shadowy realm of Minarin, greed weaves a tapestry of despair, and a prophecy of destruction draws in discredited wizard Arthur Wells as he attempts to prove his innovative prophesying methods. Unbeknown to him, Ostara, a powerful sorceress from the elven homeland, has also come to Minarin to investigate a dark phenomenon: elven souls not returning for reincarnation. While food prices soar, Lee faces starvation in his home in the isolated Moltam Forest. When news of a quest for a relic promises salvation for his family, he throws himself into a world full of danger that he has never imagined. Rejnar has no choice but to spy for the family that is holding his daughter captive. With no given reason, the same family imprisons and curses him, stripping away his magic and memories after years of faithful service. When these four collide after the collapse of a hidden prison, they discover a web connecting them all-and a conspiracy threatening to plunge their world into chaos. Embark on an epic journey of magic, discovery, and a helpless pursuit of hope in a land that teeters on the edge of war.
