“As soon as he appeared, she felt his power like a beacon, as if he were a creature made more of magic than of flesh. The energies in the room were tugged towards him, and Naila had the sensation she was falling, sucked down towards the centre of the room.”
There was never any hope of an ordinary life for Haelius Akana. Haelius is the most powerful living mage, his gift so powerful that he could level buildings or crack open the earth with a wave of his hand. But what is he supposed to do with all this power?
Tension is building in Amoria between mages and those without magic. With his father a prominent member of the non-mage council, Haelius has always found himself on the edge of mage society. Many are petitioning for Haelius to pick a side, while even more are waiting for him to fail – and Haelius already carries the scars of his past mistakes.
Soon Haelius will have to choose where he stands and decide what it means to be the most powerful man in a city of mages.
