Magic was outlawed centuries ago in Aceria when Queen Avery took the throne. Historians will tell you that magic was evil, and anyone cursed with it had been grateful to have it removed, as the Queen had ordered. How it was removed, no one knows; but the Queen assures her people that her top priority is the safety of her kingdom.
However, when a list of people who still have magic is handed to the Queen, she orders they be captured and executed at once...without the kingdom knowing.
Gerard is one of the high ranking soldiers sent to find these hiding mages... and Aurora is the mage he is assigned to capture. But before he can take her back to the Queen, they stumble across a terrifying discovery- the Queen is not as heroic as she seems, and everything they once knew is called into question. Now, they must locate as many other mages as they can before the Queen does, and work together to defeat an evil force.
