A Prince trapped on a throne

The girl who dreams of him

Five magicians who rule from the shadows

An apprentice with secrets of his own

And the sword that binds them all with a prophecy racing toward fulfillment

Millennia ago, Aomare had magic, and gods walked the land. Now they're nothing but whispers and legend.

Arien longs for more than her life in Windhaven. When two strangers offer her the chance to leave, she takes it. But it's not long before she finds out the legends are real and she has magic. As she's trained by five powerful magicians in the Hidden City, it seems as if all her dreams are coming true.

But as romance blossoms with magician Rhys, her feelings are overshadowed by dreams of Cassian, Prince of Light, and his sword Waymaker, that has an agenda of its own. As she learns to wield magic and secrets buried for millennia are brought to light, Arien no longer knows who to trust. And the choices she makes will change Aomare forever.
