As the 'magic star' Randamus surges its way toward her planet, Malia Prachet turns her steet-savvy eyes to the sky. Though she is determined to lift herself out of the squalor of her fragmented past, darker forces seek to bring the sky down on top of her.
The only thing stopping Ostancine from being crushed by the wizards of the dark isle Tarn is time. Yet while spies do their work in the shadows of the city and floating towers encroach on Ostancine's shores, Malia Prachet's only ambition is for the normal life of a star-gazing scholar. However, her research at the enigmatic Dr. Khalis's observatory reveals to her that she is much more embroiled in the dark wizards' plot than she could have ever imagined.
The Tarn wizards have always been tempered by the waning nature of their magic. With greater distance from the island's 'fount of power' their spells lose their effect, and this phenomenon has been the saving grace of the rest of the world for as long as Malia can remember. That delicate balance is about to change for good though, as the magic star Randamus, which no one understands better than astronomer Malia, surges for the planet, carrying more surprises than either side of the continent's pitched war could have ever bargained for.
