Summary

Blackthorne’s law is clear - capture the mages and enslave the inerts. This is the way and has been since the Breaking, nearly seventy years ago.

When a simple decoy mission goes awry, Jules finds herself at the forefront of a century old battle and discovers that Blackthorne’s plan may be more frightening than it seems. With the help of a mysterious stranger named Darius, Jules seeks to rescue her captured kin, yet the closer she gets to Blackthorne, the more she’s visited by a familiar figure that’s haunted her dreams for years. When the blood of her closest friend coats her hands, Jules discovers ancient magic hidden deep within her memory and that the clue to discovering its origin lies with the very person she’s trying to destroy. Caught between a calling from her forgotten, magical past and the need to protect her home, Jules begins an adventure to unify the remaining mages while learning that some magic is too powerful to be forgotten, even in death.
