Kidnapped and taken across the border, Carra and her sister are sold at auction.

Servant to a noble house, she’ll take any opportunity to leave, but where can she go? Pellagea is run by mages, but without magic of her own, she can’t gain admittance to their sought-after academy.

When a mysterious stranger appears, Carra seizes the chance to escape. Together they traverse unknown lands – forests, sinister claustrophobic tunnels, and a desert – searching for a locket under the justification of a vague prophecy.

Attaining the locket will not be easy. A mysterious tower holds a number of trials she must overcome. Challenged to take control of her fate, it’s only by understanding her flaws and thinking on her feet that Carra can unlock her true potential.

Even if she can find her magic, how will she choose to use it?
