- Some
- legends
- never
- die.Jekku
- Aj'ere
- can
- see
- everything
- from
- the
- start
- of
- time
- to
- the
- end,
- and
- it's
- an
- agonizing
- curse.
- His
- only
- chance
- to
- bargain
- for
- freedom
- is
- to
- find
- the
- Oracle
- Stone,
- a
- magic
- artifact
- that
- was
- split
- into
- four
- pieces
- and
- hidden
- centuries
- ago.Lilya
- Noor
- wants
- to
- forget
- her
- past
- and
- be
- immortal,
- so
- she
- agrees
- to
- a
- blood
- oath
- that
- will
- grant
- her
- eternal
- life
- if
- she
- delivers
- the
- Oracle
- Stone
- to
- her
- Master
- of
- Magic.
- Failure
- is
- not
- an
- option,
- but
- what
- if
- the
- stone
- offers
- a
- better
- deal
- than
- simple
- immortality?Vaeltaja
- Ievisin
- has
- one
- chance
- for
- redemption:
- the
- Second
- Savior.
- Presenting
- the
- Savior
- and
- the
- lost
- Oracle
- Stone
- to
- his
- gods
- will
- end
- his
- banishment,
- but
- the
- Savior
- isn't
- at
- all
- what
- Taja
- expected,
- and
- neither
- is
- the
- stone.
- And
- how
- much
- is
- forgiveness
- worth,
- anyway,
- when
- the
- gods
- are
- never
- satisfied?There
- are
- higher
- powers
- at
- play,
- and
- Jekku,
- Lilya,
- and
- Taja
- must
- pull
- themselves
- together
- or
- risk
- losing
- their
- magic
- and
- their
- lives
- to
- the
- vengeful
- spirits
- trapped
- in
- the
- stone.
- But
- it's
- hard
- to
- prevent
- a
- magical
- catastrophe
- when
- you
- can't
- trust
- anyone,
- including
- yourself,
- and
- certainly
- not
- the gods.
