After waking to find her teenaged
sister at her apartment in California begging to be allowed to stay after
running away from home, Allison McNeal thought her biggest problem that day
would be to keep her former stepfather from finding out before she could talk sense
into her sister, not the series of strange, unnerving incidents throughout the
morning that suddenly have her second-guessing her sanity, and especially not
the brilliant light that abruptly flashes in front of them when the two sisters
are walking in a nearby park as a hole is seemingly ripped into the very fabric
of reality, sucking a terrified and screaming Allison within and ultimately
into another world altogether.
Found within the kingdom of Lamia and suddenly manifesting frightening abilities she hasn’t the slightest clue how to control, Allison learns that the locals believe that she’s the Golden Mage, a figure of legend with the ability to perform powerful and terrible spells that haven’t been seen for centuries and destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy where a single decision will ultimately decide the fate of not only two warring kingdoms—one her new home and the other ruled by a cruel mage-king obsessed with Lamia’s conquest—but also a world moving closer to a prophesied time of possible annihilation.
In a world where many see her arrival as a curse and others as a powerful means towards a dark end, Allison’s only guides are a young Mage-general struggling with his own dark past of secrets and betrayals and the Brothers in Divinity, a secretive order of priests and mages whose only loyalties lie with their god and whose divine laws must be followed above all others.
War is swiftly approaching, and if the prophecy is to be believed, only she has the power to determine which kingdom will fall.

PAPERBACK
Depressed and overwhelmed by learning
the true meaning of her destiny as the Golden Mage as well as the major part
she, along with Aidric, Keldan, and Aren, will play as foretold within the
Prophecy of the Six, Allison despairs of ever picking up the pieces of her
shattered life. Then to add insult to injury, the Temple of Seni sends representatives to Lamia to
collect her in order that she may swear oaths to Seni as is required by divine
law. The party is led by Eban, a Domnae full of an infinite amount of ambition
and utterly despised by Aidric for reasons he refuses to confide to anyone.
However, though suspicious of his motives, Eban’s the least of her worries as going to the Temple means leaving the protection of Lamia’s Shield with very little mage training under her belt at a time when hostilities with Mihr are at their highest, and rumors of a spy planted within the palace by Roderick have begun to arise.
The wheels of fate are turning ever so quickly, and Allison feels the threads of her life becoming helplessly and dangerously entangled within its spokes, even more so now as she is exposed to the politics of the Temple, itself.
