Everyone knows magic doesn't exist anymore, until magic changes everything.
Fife is your typical apprentice blacksmith and he knows one thing for certain. Magic doesn’t exist anymore. Sure, there’s the Verse, but that’s not the same thing at all. Then he meets Neitya, who isn’t your typical girl, and everything he knows changes in a flash of…well…magic.
Held captive by the leaders of a dangerous new movement, Neitya is forced to face a darker side of her abilities that threatens to tear her away from Fife, her only true friend. The only way back to one another may be to follow their destinies down divergent paths and discover what it means to face their worst fears alone.
