"Michael Kingman has discovered his destiny, but the distance to what he wants, namely a life with Serena, the queen of Hollow kingdom, is as wide as the world, and just as cruel...Michael comes to realize that he is outclassed by powers that have been working for centuries to bring about a fresh end to the world...To prevent what may bring about the end times Michael must gather his remaining allies and push himself to achieve the impossible, because the alternative is worse than he can imagine"--
In this brilliant debut fantasy, a story of betrayal, murder, and rebellion are shattering the city-state of the Hollows where magic is solely sanctioned by the privileged, and only the son of the kingdom's despised traitor holds the truth.
