Two sisters. Two seeds of power. One Mage's Guild, and an unprecedented new powerâbut which sister does it belong to? Cadence and her sister possess the seeds of glory and ruinâor so their father always insisted. Cadence never understood what he meant until Airlieâs seed of power is activated, turning her into the most powerful mage in generations. Despite knowing it must mean her own dormant seed is much more malevolent, Cadence is swept away to the distant Mageâs Guild in her sisterâs wake. Sheâs used to living in Airlieâs shadow, but she canât see a place for herself in this new world. Nor can she believe in the apparent interest of the charming Zeke. No one has ever chosen her over her beautiful sister. But leaving her new home isnât an option. Plagued by questions from her isolated childhood, Cadence needs answers, and the Guild might hold them. But as the revelations grow, Cadence must find a way to conceal the truth from her new companions before the sistersâ secrets turn everyone against them. And as word of Airlieâs power spreads, new danger emerges. Across the kingdomâs border, a threat is growing among the ruins of their former neighborâenemies who will do anything to get their hands on the sisters and the seeds they contain. No longer able to shelter behind Airlie, Cadence must make a choice. Will she embrace her powerâwhatever it might beâor pursue a different path?
