“Naila had only ever heard rumours, but these stories were written into the very bones of the city. If a mage didn’t learn to control their gift, it would grow wild, a seething storm caught within the fragile casing of a human body.”
Naila is a young mage at Amoria’s prestigious Academy of magic. Or at least she’s supposed to be. The only problem is Naila has never been able to do magic, and now time is running out to prove she can control it. If she can’t, she could be exiled – or worse, consumed by her own power.
Naila has spent too long failing at everything. When the book begins, she is frightened and alone, slow to trust and troubled by the growing political unrest in Amoria. However, when the most powerful living mage offers her a chance to earn her place in Amoria, Naila leaps at it.
The only problem is, the more she learns about her power, the more dangerous it seems to be. Could Naila’s magic threaten everything she holds dear?
