Description

Dragons were said to once rule the world, but in ages past the powerful creatures retreated to their mountain fastness to leave the younger races to their own devices. Then the magik war came and the dragons were forced to intervene to prevent the world's destruction. They succeeded but an emperor died and an empire began to slowly collapse into decay. Rifts in the fabric of reality were formed in the cataclysmic violence of that war--rifts that magik could penetrate if the wielder were either arrogant enough…or insane.

With the barrier between the world of men and shadow rapidly thinning, Adam and Charity have been separated by an unnecessary war.

Believing her brother has been slain, Charity begins to seek her own way in the world and finds two very unusual friends.

Adam, torn by grief, seeks out the wizard Milward. Together, the two begin their search for Charity...and Adam begins his apprenticeship at a time when magik and sorcery are in vehement conflict.
