All his life, Nicolau has been treated like a freak. He's been blamed for all terrible things that happens in Canai, and that just because he has an ability that no one has heard of yet. And having a new, frightening ability that can help him wipe out an entire army and still have the upperhand hasn't been easy; certainly not since he's the Crown-Prince. To be able to even be King he needs to take control over his ability faster than it can take control over him. Beware: The trilogy contains violence, self-injurious behavior and mental illness. If this is something you have a hard time with, I advise you to not read this book. Part 1 of 3
