Forced to choose between loyalty and destiny.
Cadvin is destined to become the greatest Augur to have ever lived. When he alone is selected for training, he vows to pass along everything he learns to his childhood friends, despite the law. When they discover that their aptitudes lie in forbidden magic, Cadvin is forced to walk the line between duty and friendship.
Daimin, Cadvin's closest friend, refuses to hide his powers from the authorities. Nothing in Cadvin's prophetic visions can prepare him for their impending confrontation.
Centuries later, Fridrik, a student of Kayla Freeland's, discovers an aptitude for forbidden magic. Refusing to deny his newfound identity, he goes on the run to escape the unforgiving magicians bent on enforcing the ancient law. His only hope at acceptance is a desperate search for the truth that was buried along with Cadvin and Daimin so long ago.
