Publisher's Synopsis
Arrah longs to get her own powers, but she fails at the ritual that would have given her the magic of her ancestors. With the disapproval of her mother, the priestess, and the most powerful medium in the land, Arrah doubts she will ever be good enough. When the children of the kingdom begin to disappear, Arrah becomes desperate enough to turn to a dangerous, forbidden ritual in which she can exchange years of her life for magic. The power loaned to Arrah reveals a horrific betrayal and an expanding darkness that threatens to consume Arrah and everyone she loves.
