Or at least that is how it should have been... Mages have been condemned as they have been deemed too powerful by "the Council." Inquisitors have been sent out to find any who remain and their orders are clear. Subjugation or destruction. Countless lives have been taken. Families torn apart. Freedom sounds like a distant dream. Yet one person may yet have the power to save the world. Or destroy it.
