In the shadow of the glamorous city of Virell, there is a secret place that nobody talks about - the Market of the Nameless. No questions are asked there, no past counts. Between cages and cold light, the young mage Cael Avenar makes a decision that could change everything: He chooses not the perfect servant, but a fragile, mute girl with empty eyes - and a spark that refuses to die.

Annabell lives in a home and often feels lonely and different. She is excluded at school, and life isn't easy for her. But when new students arrive from a magical parallel world, her everyday life is thrown into disarray. These Others are mysterious and are feared or bullied by many, just like she is. As Annabell tries to find her place between two worlds, she discovers that being different also means courage and strength. And that friendship can be the greatest magic of all.
