In the tumultuous land of Kalahvin, magic wielders are driven into hiding, fleeing a ruthless queen determined to control their power. Under Desma's oppressive reign, famine and despair have shattered communities, forcing friends and family to betray one another for survival.
Varine Crestin is a magic-less anomaly born into a line of powerful Witches, where magical gifts are passed down to the first-born daughter. Unbeknownst to her, an ancient prophecy entwined with her family's legacy has been shaping her destiny. Every choice she makes not only determines her future but could alter the fate of the entire continent.
Now hunted for the magic that should flow within her, Varine embarks on a perilous journey as she trains to become a Master within the Order. Five deadly trials are what stand between her and its full protections.
Each Trial will test the very virtues revered by the Order: courage, intelligence, physical strength, determination, and resourcefulness.
But in this treacherous world, failure will have devastating consequences. Nothing is as it seems, and even her own memories cannot be trusted. As Varine delves deeper into the Trials, she must uncover the truth about herself, or risk losing everything.
