And while she sleeps, the Shrouds decay, releasing evils into the world. Our only hope lies with the mages. Aryl never wanted to be a mage.

With his sister beside him, he will learn to use his gifts to defeat the horrors issuing from the Shrouds. Too soon, they will tear themselves away from training and join the fight. Faced with visions of destruction, they venture forth with a small band of their fellow students.
