The world has been saved once before, but the cost was a terrible scar. Ten years ago, the scientist Kaelan used a magical nullifying field to defeat a devastating plague, an act that saved humanity but shattered the magical essence of the world. Now a new insidious parasite is spreading through the crystalline cities of the Whispering Folk, a direct consequence of Kaelan's flawed solution. Arion, a man whose visions of the future are now fragmented and Iona, a scholar whose knowledge of the past is proving useless, are forced to confront the possibilities that their greatest victory has led to a greater failure. Arion and Iona face many perils in their quest, but through a final powerful act of magical sacrifice they mend the world's broken magical Genome, bringing an end to the plague and ushering in a new era where logic and magic can finally coexist
