Publisher's Synopsis
Back in London, Anthony is doing his best to balance a normal life with his duties within The Circle. He's in his old flat, working his old job and finding stability has quickly become the most important thing in his life. But for those who know where to look, there are cracks developing. Called to lead a reconnaissance mission to a mysterious island in the Middle East, symbols are discovered which point to a plot of direct action against The Circle by an ancient foe, long thought defeated. Charged by the Mage with searching out the truth, Anthony has to explore the shadowy world of an ancient legend who isn't only supremely powerful, but possibly embroiled in the plot against them. Expectations, treachery, and even his own Dragon are threatening to overwhelm everything he tries, but when the time comes, can the answer be found in the stars?
