As Sonea learns more, she begins to doubt her guildmaster's word. Could the truth really be as terrifying as Akkarin claims, or is he trying to trick her into assisting in some unspeakably dark scheme?

Meanwhile, Dannyl's first order to resume High Lord Akkarin's long abandoned research into ancient magical knowledge is setting him on an extraordinary journey fraught with unanticipated peril as he moves ever-closer to a future both wondrous ... and terrible.

Each year the magicians of Imardin gather to purge the city streets of beggars, urchins and miscreants. Masters of the disciplines of magic, they know that no one can oppose them. But their protective shield is not as impenetrable as they believe. As the mob is herded from the city, Sonea, a young street girl, furious at the authorities' treatment of her family and friends, hurls a stone at the shield, putting all of her rage behind it.

After five hundred years of order, the guild's worst fear has been realised - an untrained magician is loose on the streets. She must be found, and quickly, before her uncontrolled powers unleash forces that will destroy both her, and the city that is her home.

their loyalties are tested - and Qall's very existence is at stake. Because
Dahli is still determined to restore Valhan to power, and he will stop at

Since then she has been collecting information, including a vital clue to the disaster Tyen's world faces. Elsewhere, in a land ruled by the priests, Rielle the dyer's daughter has been taught that to use magic is to steal from the Angels.

But not everything is as Tyen and Rielle have been raised to believe. Not the nature of magic, nor the laws of their lands. Not even the people they trust.

A Imardin è il giorno dell'Epurazione, l'appuntamento annuale durante il quale, su ordine del re, la Corporazione dei maghi scaccia dalla città vagabondi, mendicanti e tutti coloro che sono sospettati di vivere da fuorilegge. E, come ogni anno, gli abitanti dei quartieri poveri si radunano nella piazza del Nord, per protestare, urlando la propria rabbia e lanciando sassi contro i maghi, i quali, però, essendo protetti da una barriera magica, ignorano altezzosamente quella rivolta. Tutto sembra svolgersi secondo un triste ma collaudato copione; poi, d'un tratto, una pietra manda in frantumi la protezione e ferisce un mago. Tra l'esultanza della folla e lo sgomento dei maghi, viene subito individuata la responsabile dell'incredibile gesto: è Sonea, una giovane orfana, che subito dopo fugge via, spaventata dalle conseguenze della sua azione. Ma la Corporazione dei maghi non può permettere che qualcuno dotato di un simile potere sfugga al loro controllo e vuole trovare la ragazzina per convincerla a unirsi a loro e a sottoporsi al necessario addestramento. Tuttavia, all'interno della Corporazione, c'è anche chi trama per sfruttare Sonea e raggiungere così i suoi scopi malvagi...
