Sorcerers
are the stuff of legends, used as bogeymen to frighten children. Any
magic has long been scoured from the Four Realms, and to be accused of
associating with a suspected sorcerer means death – or worse...
Seri is a Leiran noblewoman living in exile. She wants nothing to do
with the intrigues of her royal family, the politics of power, the
unjust laws of her people. But her world is rent asunder when she
shelters from Leiran soldiers a fugitive – a man with the skills of a
warrior who is incapable of speech and quite possibly mad.
There is more to this stranger than meets the eye. And now Seri must
help him remember who and what he is before those responsible for his
condition find him... and unleash an apocalypse against the world.
