About this eBook

The medical assembly has finally arrested the last existing Power, one of the super-powered, nearly-immortal beings tasked with preserving the balance of the world. All too often, though, their battles have ravaged cities, so the capture of the last one delights everyone.

Everyone—except Rordan. He stands in the cold, snowy street, capturing the story for his local paper—sinking further and further into despair. A world robbed of magic? It hardly bears imagining.

Then a woman in the street catches his eye, a woman with hair of flame and eyes of fire. And Rordan realises: no one ever proved how many Powers existed. Maybe—just maybe—a bigger story waits to be told, one that might just save humanity, if he can expose it in time…

For anyone who values a sense of wonder, and believes that everyone is worth of love.
