Across the land the untamed magic of the gods wells up out of the earthβs heart. It sends exotic creatures to stalk the wintry nights and it twists menβs minds, granting them terrible visions. Those so touched are sent to the Abbey to control their gift, or die. At King Rolenβs court enemies plot to take his throne, even as secrets within his own household threaten to tear his family apart.
