Two thousand years have passed since magic was discovered. Two thousand and five since the first meta human was born. Today, magis live alongside metas, coexisting under a fragile, uneasy peace. Meta Felix Pagonis is a member of the Guardian Council, an organisation created to keep the peace in Sirius City. Born with vast psychic powers, he is perfectly content living comfortably with his younger sister as an perfectly normal school boy. But all that will change when his fellow Guardian, Sorcerer Gaius Deusdedit, discovers a spellcraft that causes metas to go berserk during a mission. Together, they uncover a plot that aims to destabilise the peace between their races and even bring about the end of their world. Will our two protagonists stop the plot? What secrets are Gaius hiding from his colleague? Will they make the right decision in the end?
