A storytelling craft that is rare for a debut. Fans of Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson will find much to admire.

When fate calls, a journey begins. Twenty years have passed since the godlike Augurs were overthrown and killed. Now, those who once served them—the Gifted—have only been spared because they accepted the four principles of the rebellion, which significantly limit their own powers. As a young Gifted, Davian suffers from the consequences of a war that was lost before he was born. He and others like him are despised. But when Davian discovers that he possesses the forbidden powers of the Augurs, he sets in motion a chain of events that will change everything.

In the West, a young man awakens in the woods, bloodied and with no memory of who he is, his fate intertwined with Davian's. And in the far North, an ancient enemy, long thought defeated, begins to die.
