Summary
"You want to know the truth."
Sonea has learned much since she was but a penniless urchin
possessing an awesome untapped ability. She has earned the
grudging respect of her fellow novices and a place in the
Magicians' Guild. But there is much she wishes she had
never learned—what she witnessed, for example, in the
underground chamber of the mysterious High Lord Akkarin . . .
and the knowledge that the Guild is being observed closely by
an ancient fearsome enemy.
Still, she dares not ignore the terrifying truths the High
Lord would share with her, even though she fears it may be base
trickery, a scheme to use her astonishing powers to accomplish
his dark aims. For Sonea knows her future is in his
hands—and that only in the shadows will she achieve true
greatness . . . if she survives.
