TOM PIERWSZY PENTALOGI Z UNIWERSUM PIĘCIU KRAIN. Kiedy Gildia Wyzwolonych zaczyna się odradzać, zarządcy Pięciu Krain przypadkiem odnajdują na ziemi ogromne skupiska eteru. Okazuje się, że wytwarza je pewna nieokiełznana spektryczka. Zlecają więc grupie podopiecznych ściągnięcie jej do Spatium, gdzie nauczy się kontrolować swój magiczny talent. W ten sposób Skyler Wilson poznaje świat, do którego powinna należeć od dziecka. Świat pełen intryg, tajemnic i walki o władzę. Świat, który zabił jej ojca, zanim zdążyła go poznać. Dziewczyna ma dołączyć do Drużyny Pięciorga, która odtąd będzie walczyć przeciwko Gildii. Problem stanowi jednak fakt, że Luke, May, Cody i Sophie za sobą nie przepadają. Są niezgrani, pogubieni i uprzedzeni do siebie nawzajem. Zupełnie nie przypominają swoich rodziców, którzy szkolili się do walki przed laty. Gdy czas zaczyna grać główną rolę zostają wysłani w podróż, która docelowo ma zespolić ich przed starciem. Jak jednak mają dojść do porozumienia, jeśli dzielą ich tajemnice?

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do. A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater. Together this unlikely, and somewhat unwilling, band of allies will perform daring escapes and battle an onslaught of mages, monsters, and malodorous thieves as they race across a continent to save two nations from mutual annihilation.
