In the medieval gloom, Vaelen, forty years old, hides his forbidden witchcraft behind the kindly facade of a village apothecary. His psychic heritage lets him serve the people with a gentle hand, while carefully guarding the truth. Yet his smile freezes whenever the princess, the monarchs, or the palace sentinels draw near—their minds subtly, silently controlled to protect his secrets.
