Why is magic always hidden? In a world where power that can be wielded to rival the mythical tales of Gods has all but been forgotten, how would people react when the truth of their capabilities is revealed? Doran has only barely come of age, not quite inheriting a failing business his father had abandoned for drink. His mother and sister, Thea, struggled on along with Doran, hoping one day something might change. Ulric had fled all his life, from the things he had done, from the man he was. When he finally stopped running, having found someone worth staying for, his past quickly caught up with him, with explosive consequences. Clifton is a long way from home, and despite the biggest danger usually being bandits, he doesn't make it on the road before the capital is burning to the ground, and a new threat he never imagined before is racing toward his home and family.
