"The Wayward Sisters, hand-in-hand, Masters of the Sea and Land. Five are lost, and five shall again be free. Five from five, and from five come three." Twelve years ago, the kingdom of Ilyria began its brutal conquest. Twelve years ago, four kingdoms fell, one after another, beneath its brutal control. Twelve years ago, four royal families were slaughtered. Twelve years ago, magic vanished from the world. Twelve years ago, five princesses vanished with it. For twelve years, Ilyria has held most of the continent within its cruel grasp. Those who once practiced magic have been hunted down and exterminated, even after magic itself vanished from the world, and hope has all but vanished, too. Except for a prophecy which lingers on. Which promises the return of that which was lost, and the end of tyranny. A prophecy which promises the rise of three sisters-or maybe three princesses-and a power great enough to make right what has been broken. The rise of a new age, and a new force. Of the Wayward Sisters.
