As the battle for the soul of Caithe rages on, a magical enemy from outside poses a new threat in this fantasy saga by the author of Call of Madness.

Princess Athaya Trelane has become a champion of the Lorngeld, beseeching them to embrace their gifts and defy the laws forbidding their magic. For this she sacrificed everything - family, friendship, love, and even her own sanity. Though her followers still face the terror of King Durek's ruthless Tribunal, a far greater now threat closes in on all of Caithe.

Brandegarth, the Sage of Sare, is leading an army of wizards against the king and Athaya both. Brandegarth believes the Lorngeld are superior to other men and are destined to rule the earth. If he succeeds in his rebellion, all the wealth and power of Caithe will belong to him, and non-magical citizens will be crushed under his reign.

Athaya's quest to end centuries of Lorngeld persecution seems closer than ever, but Brandegarth threatens to obliterate all that she's gained. With her mission, her people, and her kingdom on the line, Athaya must confront her greatest adversary yet - and this time, her magic may not be enough to save her.
