Imardin is a city of dark intrigues and deadly politics, where
those who wield magic wield power. Into this established order has
blundered a young street-girl with extraordinary magical gifts.
Adopted by the Magicians'' Guild, her life is changed forever - but
for better or for worse? Sonea knew that she''d face a tough time
training within the Magicians'' Guild but she little realised the
level of animosity she would face from her fellow novices. The sons
and daughters of the most powerful families in the realm, her
classmates seem determined to see her fail - at whatever cost. But
in accepting the protection of the guild''s high lord, Sonea may
have embraced an even bleaker fate. For High Lord Akkarin harbours
a secret that is far darker than his magician''s robes.
