Discover this thrilling fantasy adventure from international No.1 bestselling author Trudi Canavan.

SOMETIMES MAGIC LIES WITHIN . . .

When the young student Tyen unearths an ancient book, it opens the door to a realm of mystery and danger. For it contains a clue to a disaster threatening the world.

Elsewhere, in a land ruled by priests, Rielle has been taught that to use magic is to steal from the Angels. Yet she has a talent for it, and desperate times may force her to risk the Angels' wrath.

But not everything is as Tyen and Rielle have been raised to believe. Not the nature of magic - and not even the people they trust.

A gripping fantasy adventure filled with danger, intrigue and forbidden magic. Perfect for fans of Robin Hobb, Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss and Peter V. Brett.

Ratings and reviews

The book was easy to get into within the first few pages, changes to different characters happens at key plot points so keeps you interested.

When reading this book I was unsure at first but then got into it so it was a bit of a slow burner. That said I really enjoyed the characters involved and the way the story developed.

Somewhat predicable, but also enjoyable. It's nice when the main characters think things through instead of jumping to action straight away.
