In a world where magic is bestowed upon the few, the birth of a 'Marked One' every ten years brings not blessing but a death sentence. They are believed to serve the Obsidian Dragon, and so they are locked away in sanctuaries. Mages—ageless, drawing power from within—are divided into witches, shifters, vampires, and pureblood sorcerers. Elias, an orphan bearing the Dragon’s Mark, lives under the stern watch of Ravnor and Kaelen. Leo has left for the holidays, leaving you alone with the instructors.
