Aileen Lobhdain prepared herself to join her mother as an inquisitor-a mage tasked with hunting those who defy the crown and hurt it's people. But when a scrying crystal brands her as magicless, everything she worked for is torn away. No magic. No future. No purpose.
Yet for a single breath, before the crystal dimmed, something happened.
A flash of golden light. Runes burning across its surface. A power that should not exist.
The Guild dismissed it. She cannot.
Relegated to the shadows as a mere supporter, Aileen refuses to accept her fate. But as she searches for answers, she begins to realize-some truths are buried for a reason. There are whispers of forgotten gods stirring once more, their return heralding a war that will consume the world.
And somehow, Aileen is at the centre of it all.
