Two tales entwine. Sabrina is thrust out of
her sheltered life at Mistress Florisah’s healing school after the destruction
of the witch-ancestor portraits and the appearance of Lauren the Destroyer’s
ghost. An anti-witchcraft regime is poised on Karthalon’s borders threatening
full scale genocide, unless Sabrina, the last of Lauren’s bloodline, can
destroy the Lodestone and restore magic to Valloaria. Hundreds of years before
Lauren had wrought the cataclysmic demise of the Council of Witches by
unleashing the Lodestone and now Sabrina is the only one who can undo Lauren’s
legacy. Sabrina struggles to accept this suicide mission and is distracted by
her inappropriate affection for Micah, a prospect monk. Lauren’s ghost haunts
Sabrina’s dreams and her diary reveals the tragic events behind Lauren’s
actions. With invasion imminent, Sabrina embarks on her quest armed only with a
sliver of the Lodestone and Lauren’s diary.
