Publisher's Synopsis
Fjona Sarsen, now with a wand of her own, is one step closer to becoming a sage and aiding Perciville Harper in his quest to prevent the deadly Eight Affl ictions from returning. As they journey across the Arvum, the Sleeping Giant looming on the horizon, they fi nd themselves entangled in the lives of those aff ected by the burgeoning threat: a scholar at the Archivus, a soldier of the Noble Guard, the leader of a dangerous cult. Burdened with the fate of the world on her shoulders, the last thing Fjona expected was for the stakes to rise even higher.
