The very thing they seek to destroy could be the one thing that saves them.

Magic is outlawed across the five kingdoms. Those unfortunate enough to be born with it are hunted down and taken to the White Tower. They are never heard from again.

Ty has always known that he was different, but he doesn’t realize how different until the Black Watch arrive in Easthaven, forcing his family to reveal a secret that threatens not only his life, but the lives of everyone around him…including Lyessa. As the daughter of an overlord, Lyessa will one day be expected to rule. However, when a dark witch hires a tribe of Northmen to capture Ty, she finds herself in the middle of a war she didn’t know existed.

Meanwhile, in the White Tower, armed with nothing but his sense of humor and determination to never give in, Ferrin attempts what no prisoner has ever accomplished and vows to escape. But he can’t do it alone. His only hope is Rae, an angry but gifted healer tasked with keeping the prisoners alive during the inquisitors’ brutal interrogations.

And in the capital city of Aramoor, as the throne comes under attack and creatures of magic are once more being released, Ayrion is forced to use his twin blades to keep the kingdom from falling. But when a sweeping number of the city’s outcasts begin to mysteriously disappear, he realizes that the threat is deadlier than he knew.

In a world where magic is not only feared, but outlawed, can a handful of wielders manage to save it? And if so, what will it look like when they’re through?
