A thousand years ago, Mageborns fled prejudice and persecution to
colonize the planet Lenfell – prisitine, untouched, a perfect refuge
for those whose powers were perceived as a threat by people not gifted
with magic. But the greater the magic, the greater the peril and
Lenfell was soon devastated by a war between rival Mageborn factions
that polluted land, sea and air with Wild Magic and unleashed the
hideous specters known as the Wraithenbeasts.
Generations after that terrible war, with the land recovered from
criplling wounds and the people no longer threated by genetic damage,
Mageborns still practice their craft – but under strict constraints.
Yet so long as the rivlary between the Mage Guardians and the Lords of
Malerris continues, the threat of another war is ever-present. And
someone has been planning just such a war for many long years, the
final strike in a generations-old bid for total power.
Bound together by ties of their ancient Blood Line, torn
asunder by the magical intrigues and political ambitions of their
elders, three Mageborn sisters will find themselves on opposing sides
in the conflict.
Glennin, initiated by her father into the secrets of
Malerrisi magic, craves the power and position she believes are her
rightful heritage – and she will do anything and use anyone in pursuit
of her goals.
Sarra, fostered under a name not her own when a
treacherous attack destroys all she holds dear, will devote herself to
championing the underground resistance force known as the Rising – and
in protecting the younger sister whose very existance is the most
closely guarded secret in their world.
Cailet, destined from birth to become the Mage
Guardians' last, best hope, will grow to young womanhood ignorant of
her abilities and her destiny – and will prevail only if she can
overcome the spell barriers long ago imposed upone her magic.
Together, the sisters will fight their own private war, and the
victors will determine whether or not the Wild Magic and Wraithenbeasts
are once again loosed to wreak havoc upon their world.
