Lightholder mages live by many rules. Among these: second-born twins must die for the good of all. In this sequel to Garden of Light, Domi, a fifteen-year-old apprentice sorcerer, has just learned the terrible secret that he is the younger twin brother of the world's most powerful wizard and was abandoned at birth in order to save his life. Worse, his mere existence threatens not only his brother's safety but the lives of every person on the planet. For Domi's twin brother is the Princeps Worldholder, a wizard whose royal magic defends and maintains the world, and Domi's illicit magic naturally interferes with his brother's health and sorcery. If the Princeps dies, magic itself could be destroyed, and the world that depends on it could crumble. The twins find themselves in a race against time to save magic, the world, and each other. But what does it mean to survive, and what is the price of existence?

However, a mysterious gift opposes it - a force as elusive as it is powerful. Will its fleeting strength serve Dathion in his time of greatest need?

For they will be the first to face the stirrings of evil, just as it was a thousand years ago.

Only Dathion - heir prince of Asillia - can deliver the warnings to the members of the Ancient Alliance, and convey the importance of their need. If he fails, Asillia stands alone ...
