Dangerous magic. A realm under siege. Can a mother and son defeat a rising evil?

Danalar Halyas isn't ready to grow up. Torn between boyhood desire and adult responsibility, the sixteen-year-old heir is devastated after his father goes missing in battle. And when a powerful ally suspected of treachery closes in on their lands, the untried youth worries he won't be able to protect his territory from war.

Charymylle Halyas stands strong within a storm of chaos and grief. As the fate of her beloved husband remains unknown, she directs the clan while shaping her teenage sons into men mighty enough to lead. But with demonic forces disrupting crucial spells and an emissary arriving with an unwelcome invitation, the troubled regent is terrified she'll lose all that she loves.

Defying his mother's commands, Danalar sneaks out with friends to warn a nearby village... only to run into sinister threats. And with the consequences of her decisions raining fire on her people, Charymylle fears she may have led her nation to its doom.

Will the Halyas family fall to darkness, or can they beat back a formidable foe?
