Synopsis

Еллорен Ґарднер — онучка останньої Чорної відьми з пророцтва Карнісси Ґарднер, що відтіснила ворожі сили і врятувала ґарднерійський народ під час Війни королівств. І хоча зовні вона копія своєї відомої бабусі, Еллорен не має жодних магічних сил у суспільстві, яке понад усе цінує магічні здібності. Коли в неї з’являється можливість втілити свою давню мрію стати аптекаркою, Еллорен приєднується до своїх братів у престижному Університеті Верпакса, щоби прийняти власну долю, без тіні спадщини її бабусі. Незабаром вона усвідомлює, що на навчання приймають представників різних народів — зокрема крилатих ікаралів, які володіють вогнем,— заклятих ворогів усіх ґарднерійців. Це місце небезпечне для внучки Чорної відьми. На горизонті повстає зло, тиск на Еллорен зростає — і все, що вона раніше знала, піддається сумнівам, а попередні уявлення про світ руйнуються. Її єдина надія на виживання може виявитися серед групи бунтівників… тільки якщо вона знайде в собі сміливість довіряти тим, кого її вчили боятися.

Times are hard in the mountain city of Fellsmarch. Reformed thief Han Alister will do almost anything to eke out a living for his family. The only thing of value he has is something he can't sell—the thick silver cuffs he's worn since birth. They're clearly magicked—as he grows, they grow, and he's never been able to get them off.

One day, Han and his clan friend, Dancer, confront three young wizards setting fire to the sacred mountain of Hanalea. Han takes an amulet from Micah Bayar, son of the High Wizard, to keep him from using it against them. Soon Han learns that the amulet has an evil history—it once belonged to the Demon King, the wizard who nearly destroyed the world a millennium ago. With a magical piece that powerful at stake, Han knows that the Bayars will stop at nothing to get it back.

Meanwhile, Raisa ana'Marianna, princess heir of the Fells, has her own battles to fight. She's just returned to court after three years of freedom in the mountains—riding, hunting, and working the famous clan markets. Raisa wants to be more than an ornament in a glittering cage. She aspires to be like Hanalea—the legendary warrior queen who killed the Demon King and saved the world. But her mother has other plans for her...

The Seven Realms tremble when the lives of Hans and Raisa collide, fanning the flames of the smoldering war between clans and wizards.

Like the colorful pieces of sea glass washed up on shore, Opal has weathered rough waters and twisting currents. But instead of finding a tranquil eddy, Opal is caught in a riptide. Her unique glass messengers which allow instant communication over vast distances have become a vital part of Sitian society. Once used solely by the Councilors and magicians, other powerful factions are now vying for control. Control of the messengers equals control of Sitia. Unfortunately that also means control of Opal.

The Council doubts her, her mentor doubts her, and even her family is concerned. When her world is turned upside down, she begins to doubt herself. In the end, Opal must decide who to believe, who to trust, and who has control—otherwise she will shatter into a million pieces and be swept out by the tide.
