An abandoned boy, a grieving prince, and a reclusive sorcerer find themselves caught in a web of peril and mystery...

Daedalus, a young sorcerer, just wants time to grieve the loss of his mother, who died two days ago. But first, the boy must ascend the Throne of Solitude left bereft by her death, don the Onyx Crown she once wore, and become the next Princeps Worldholder, Keeper of Heaven and Earth. And Valens, an expert sorcerer, just wants to do what he does best: fight rogue magic in the treacherous borderland wilderness. But first, he must find a way to escape the twin duties of taking a wife and an apprentice, both of which threaten to chain him to an unwanted life in the city. As the fates of three very different people from very different life circumstances grow ever more entwined, a cataclysm looms on the horizon. The sorcery holding the world together is beginning to unravel. And beyond the planet's weakening magical protections, an ancient threat waits. Domi, Daedalus, and Valens face a future none of them imagined. Will they rise to the occasion? Or will the world around them crumble?
