Iris has spent her life under the watchful eye of the Archmagus, the enigmatic figure who saved her as a child and raised her within the dark walls of the Citadel. Trapped in a world of secrets and bound to the merciless winged warriors known as the Aello, Iris has longed for freedom. But when a daring thief crosses her path during one of the Archmagus' relentless hunts for ancient magickal artifacts, Iris discovers that escape will mean more than simply leaving.
 
The Archmagus has hidden the truth of her origins-a truth so powerful that it shatters everything she thought she knew. Now, Iris stands at a crossroads: remain in the shadows as part of a twisted family of monsters, or risk everything to unravel her past and follow a dangerous new destiny. Her choice will change the fate of magick itself.
