Kalen has been blessed with a gift. He's a mental picklock, employed by the king to uncover the secrets held in the minds of criminals. When the king's son, Cirrus, falls into a coma, the king enlists Kalen's help to dive into the prince's mind. While in Cirrus' thoughts, Kalen discovers a heavily locked secret, one hidden even from the prince himself. Cirrus has a sister, banished at birth because of her own magical abilities, an act which sets a prophecy in motion.
With the very kingdom at stake, Kalen and Cirrus team up with Kalen's silver-haired friend, Luna, to find the princess. The travel is precarious, and they quickly learn that rescuing Reign is only the first of their problems... siphoned magick, a hidden enemy, and a reluctant princess... to name a few. A battle of wits, willpower, and magick will be fought across multiple kingdoms ― and its very outcome will determine the kingdom's fate.
