Overview

My awakening power. Her fading strength. And an ancient magic that could save—or condemn—us.

Having left the Citadel and everything I have ever known, all I have left is Sila. I am determined that we will find a place in this new world, to finally find somewhere safe. I should have known better. With her tether to the Library broken, Sila is beginning to unravel, and every new day in the cursed forest of the outer world brings unknown dangers upon us. But under these sunless skies, my magic burns bright as sunlight in my veins. If I can learn to wield it, it might be the power that will save her.

But such things come with a price, and if it does not cost me my life, it might cost me hers—if the forest doesn’t take us both first.
