Publisher's Synopsis
Power corrupts, and magic is power. On the world of Reo-Koll, a little girl called the Artisoll possesses all of the magic -- all of it. Whoever can control the Artisoll controls the world, and battle ignites between three armies bent on gaining that power. But they didn't plan on Malja. With the help of friends old and new, Malja must protect the Artisoll while deflecting the influence of such massive power. Even as Fawbry and Tommy fall victim to the Artisoll's magic, Malja risks everything to restore peace to the world. But her old enemy, Harskill, is playing his own game, and he's brought in another Gate who may be the most dangerous of all.
