Nothing in her life could have ever prepared her for this. Kyria stepped into the Mage's Council with unparalleled power and potential, but also with none of the discipline and training that a Mage of her age is accustomed to. Thrust into her new life at the Academy, Kyria will experience marvels and wonders at every turn, and the more she sees, the more she doubts that she will ever truly belong. With new classes, schedules, lifestyles, friends and enemies, Kyria must adjust quickly to her new life. At every turn she is confronted with set backs, betrayal and frustration. Only with the help from unexpected sources could she hope to overcome her disadvantages and find a glimmer of hope that she can cling to.
