One of the most important bits of wisdom Marasel garnered from the sisters of Klasztor Tajemna, was the necessity of facing one's fears; never giving up and never giving in . . . for doing so was choosing to lose.  And, recently, in the span of a very short time, Marasel had already lost so very much.   Living since birth in one of the oldest and most secluded Arcaniversities on Artha, knowledge, magic and faith have been the primary building blocks of Marasel's existence.  But now, she finds herself in grave danger, chased by deadly servants of the Dragon Empire. Marasel must leave Krovania and her sisters behind to meet up with perhaps the only person alive who can keep her safe long enough to figure out who she is and why she is being hunted.
