In an African-inspired fantasy, mage Sadia returns to find her husband, Leander, corrupted by Oko Egan, a vengeful Dryad she'd imprisoned. The Dryad escapes, mortally wounding Sadia and Leonotis, then abducts Leander. Sadia's dying magic saves her child. Orphaned Leonotis, with allies Jacqueline, Low, and Zombiel, must now uncover the kingdom's corruption, evade a relentless king seeking his power, and confront his family's grim fate in a world teetering on war.
