Tous les novices de la Guilde des magiciens viennent de familles puissantes... sauf Sonea. Mais elle sait bien qu'elle peut se tourner vers ses maîtres Dannyl et Rothen pour leur demander de l'aide. En tout cas, jusqu'à ce que d'infâmes rumeurs commencent à courir sur elle - et qu'Akkarin, le haut seigneur, intervienne.

- Peut-on étudier la magie et exercer le métier de guérisseur ? - Bien entendu. La plupart des mages ont des passions personnelles et des projets bien à eux. Mais pour l'instant, ta priorité est d'apprendre à contrôler ton pouvoir. C'est ce que l'on appelle le "prix de la magie". Si tu ne réussis pas, ton don finira par te tuer. Considérant la force de ton pouvoir, je doute que les ravages se limitent à une seule pièce.

Lorkin vit désormais au Sanctuaire, où il essaie de comprendre la société des Traîtresses et le fonctionnement de leur magie unique car il les soupçonne de nourrir de sombres ambitions. De son côté, Sonea continue de chercher le renégat Skellin. Mais l'influence de ce dernier est bien plus étendue qu'elle ne le craignait. Au Sachaka, Dannyl a perdu le respect de l'élite locale et est préoccupé par l'arrivée du nouvel ambassadeur - un homme qu'il ne connaît que trop bien.

Il n'est pas toujours facile de suivre les traces de son père... Le jeune Lorkin, fils du haut seigneur Akkarin, en fait l'apprentissage.

Mais il ne tarde pas à être confronté à de sérieux ennuis.

Sonea a gagné sa place au sein de la Guilde des magiciens et les autres novices la traitent désormais avec respect. Mais elle ne peut oublier ce dont elle fut témoin dans la chambre souterraine du haut seigneur Akkarin, ni la menace que fait peser sur la Guilde un ancien ennemi. Or, à mesure qu'Akkarin lui dévoile peu à peu son savoir, Sonea ne sait plus à qui se fier. La vérité est-elle aussi terrifiante que le prétend le haut seigneur ? Ou essaie-t-il de la tromper afin qu'elle mette ses pouvoirs au service de ses sinistres projets ?

"Cette jeune fille est plus puissante que la moyenne de nos élèves, peut-être même plus que nos mages ! Elle est un danger. Il faut la trouver et l'arrêter. Si c'est une renégate, la loi nous oblige à l'amener devant le roi. Sinon, nous sommes tenus de lui enseigner le Contrôle. C'est encore une enfant, probablement une voleuse! Mais elle pourrait devenir une grande magicienne...".

Lorkin est de retour au Sachaka avec les Traîtresses rebelles, en mission pour leur reine : sur lui pèse la lourde tâche de poser les bases d'une alliance entre leurs deux peuples. Le jeune homme est désormais devenu un magicien noir redoutable, capable de maîtriser une forme de magie inconnue. Lorsque le roi du Sachaka le jette en prison pour le contraindre à trahir la cause des rebelles, il doit décider à qui va son allégeance. Quel que soit son choix, celui-ci entraînera un immense sacrifice, et pourrait bien transformer la Guilde des magiciens à jamais.

But when an old enemy brings news of something worse than magically dead worlds and dangerous sorcerers – a threat unlike anything the worlds have faced before – Rielle and Tyen must reunite if they are to have any chance of saving humanity.

When Auraya was chosen to become a priestess, she could never have believed that a mere ten years later she would be one of the White, the gods' most powerful servants.

But their protective shield is not as impenetrable as they believe.

To the amazement of all who bear witness, the stone passes unhindered through the barrier and renders a magician unconscious.

Sonea knew that she'd face a tough time training within the Magicians' Guild but she little realised the level of animosity she would face from her fellow novices. The sons and daughters of the most powerful families in the realm, her classmates seem determined to see her fail - at whatever cost. But in accepting the protection of the guild's high lord, Sonea may have embraced an even bleaker fate. For High Lord Akkarin harbours a secret that is far darker than his magician's robes.

Sonea has learned much at the magicians' guild and the other novices now treat her with a grudging respect. But she cannot forget what she witnessed in the High Lord's underground room - or his warning that the realm's ancient enemy is growing in power once more.

Could the truth really be as terrifying as Akkarin claims, or is he trying to trick her into assisting in some unspeakably dark scheme?
