Publisher's Synopsis
Surrounded by never-ending desert, destined to become the wife of the infamous Conjurer Fausto, Alula believes her world lies in the Palace of the Chosen, where she is simultaneously a jewel of the Palace and a servant. When Alula starts having dreams about her life before the Palace, memories which should have been erased from her mind upon arrival, she knows a big change is coming. Between mirrors and shadows, and the dreams of her past, two Conjurers reveal themselves to Alula as her long forgotten brothers, and they carry a message: Alula must leave the Palace before Conjurer Fausto can have her, for Alula has the Gift of the Sacred Art, and Fausto is after her power. Alula's Gift is special, coveted by Dark Conjurers: she is a Crystal Conjurer. In an extraordinary journey through the Desert, Alula seeks to find the truth about her past, and to reunite with her lost family. Together with the friends she makes along the way, she discovers that family is not formed only with ties of blood, that not everything is what it seems, and just how far she is willing to go to protect those she loves.
