The war has ended, and the enemy were the victors. Jia’s people have had to find out the tough way that sometimes in life, there aren’t any second chances coming. The Egril have always been their old enemy for as long as anyone can remember. This time they hit with a level of magic that was so destructive that it completely took out Jia’s armies. No one saw it coming.
The people who live in Jia for generations are in a place where magic has faded from the world and is hanging on with the help of a few rare individuals that have been protected from the hordes by their warrior caste. But during this time, the enemy have found magic and are using it to launch a surprise attack invasion that proved far too effective.
Now things are very different. Terror is ruling the streets and there is no real sense of loyalty. Friends turn on each other just to make it through another day. Tinnistra is a young woman who sees herself as just a failure, a deserter who is just a coward on the inside.

When she gets pulled into a plan to take Jia back, Tinnistra doesn’t know what to do. Everyone around her seems willing to risk it all in order to take on this battle and win.
