Energy is the force that drives all things and mages are those that can control that energy. Phoebe had only been trying to save her sister from what she thought was a cult like gang when she met one such a mage. His name was Wasp and the 'gang' that her sister had joined was actually his personal reservoir of energy that made him one of the most powerful mages in the world. Because of Wasp's own past and an unusual power that she possesses that he has never seen before, Phoebe is forced into staying with him. For her own safety, for the safety of the hundreds of people Wasp protects in his Nest, she has to cut ties with all she knows and try to help him settle that past. Complicating everything are the lies planted in her own mind, the hatred her sister holds for her now, and the feelings that she has developed for the great and powerful Wasp.
