AXCELLEdental
"Hope is fragile. Power is hunger. And magic always demands a price."
.
.
Wisteria Sovetsky has always known she was different. An orphan, a healer in the war-ravaged West, she has lived quietly in the shadows - until the night her settlement was torn apart by Valkras. In the blood and ruin, she awakened a power that should not exist, a magic older and far more dangerous than she ever imagined.
Dragged to the eastern stronghold of the Magic Wielders, Wisteria falls under the command of Darkus Valinor, a man as feared as he is revered. He claims she is the Holder of Order Magic - the last hope to bind a kingdom fractured by war. But hope is a fragile thing, and power hungers.
As she trains, whispers of betrayal coil around her, and the boundaries between savior and destroyer begin to blur. To master her gift is to risk being consumed by it. To deny it may doom her people to annihilation.
In a land where monsters wear human faces and magic bleeds like a curse, Wisteria must uncover a truth that could shatter not only the Magic Wielders but the fate of her entire world.
