The discovery of a strange new power leads Sam to buried truths.
Now that Rasan Tel has escaped, Sam works with others within the Academy to make preparations for the coming war. Increasing attacks on the outskirts of Olway raise the urgency to learn when and where the next attack will come, but Sam is caught between fighting the war and his new responsibilities to the Academy.
A dangerous new form of magic leads Sam and Tara toward a discovery that will shake the foundation of what they believed about the war-and about how to stop it. If they fail to learn the truth in time, more than Olway will suffer an impossible fate.
