Publisher's Synopsis
All Opal wanted was to be respected as a wielder of magic, but her
teachers passed her over time and time again. When a mysterious warlord
embarks on a conquest to destroy the lands of Illyia, Opal seizes the
opportunity to step out from the shadows of her instructors and take her
rightful place among them.
Tala, an alluring young elf, was banished from her tribe, hunted and
nearly killed by the beasts of the deep forests, but more than anything
else she is a survivor. Joining forces with an ancient elemental power,
Tala finds herself in the center of an unrelenting human war.
Flesh like leather and bone as strong as steel, Karn, a veteran from the
first kingdom to fall, is fueled by vengeance. While pushing headlong
into battle Karn begins recalling memories of another life: ghosts that
haunt his dreams.
Through death of soul, their new world is born.
