In Nah-Alba where all magic was once revered, it was now deeply feared. Where magic was once free, it was now punishable by death. King Albion had turned his father's once peaceful kingdom into one of fear and terror, where anyone and everyone accused of doing magic was put to death.  When tragedy strikes and Albion's sister and her family die, Albion is left to raise his crippled niece.  When accusations reached the king about Aryana practicing magic in the lower courts the questions begin to buzz in the kingdom.  Will he put to death his beloved Aryana? Or will he spare her life?  As secrets are exposed, and enemies are brought to light, tragedy strikes Nah-Alba again and again.  Will there be a savior to rise to the occasion and save the day, or will Nah-Alba fall into war and despair?
