Klappentext
She couldn't save her kingdom or family. Will her magic be enough to save the world?
Dark creatures have invaded Princess Cassara Edoline's small and almost forgotten kingdom, murdering her family and taking her younger brother captive. Torn by guilt and clutching an amulet of powerful magic that promises both salvation and destruction, Cassara vows to rescue her brother and save her people from the invading hordes.
But first, she must find out what is causing the Wall's thousand-year-old magic of the Wall to fail and then stop it--if she can.
With her resolve and strength mercilessly tested at every step, and her shaky alliances crumbling, Cassara's desperation grows. Can she master her newfound powers in time? Or will she be forced to watch her beloved land be consumed by darkness and death?
An epic fantasy story in the vein of the Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, and Shannara, where darkness can only be stopped by those who stand against it, and the most insignificant lives can prove the most important.
