Magic, like life, comes from the suns, and nearly everyone has it. Pandora Wen has lived most of her life without, only to have the world turn to her in its greatest hour of need. She was not chosen by destiny or fate. There is not now, nor has there ever been, any such thing. There is only Causality. Cause and effect. The future is contingent on the few, those destined to fight alongside Pandora against deathless, rebels, and the immortals bent on the destruction of all she knows and loves.
