But when he fails to control the book’s most treacherous spell, it sets off a deadly chain of events that leads to war, the fall of kingdoms, and the reemergence of gods long thought dead. What Reviewers are saying: "It's dark, intense, and character-driven. The setting is full-to-bursting with palpable magic and struggle.
