As
destiny
calls,
a
journey
begins.
It
has
been
twenty
years
since
the
god-like
Augurs
were
overthrown
and
killed.
Now,
those
who
once
served
them
-
the
Gifted
-
are
spared
only
because
they
have
accepted
the
rebellion's
Four
Tenets,
vastly
limiting
their
powers.
As
a
Gifted,
Davian
suffers
the
consequences
of
a
war
lost
before
he
was
even
born.
He
and
others
like
him
are
despised.
But
when
Davian
discovers
he
wields
the
forbidden
power
of
the
Augurs,
he
sets
into
motion
a
chain
of
events
that
will
change
everything.
To the west, a young man whose fate is intertwined with Davian's wakes up in the forest, covered in blood and with no memory of who he is...
And in the far north, an ancient enemy long thought defeated begins to stir.
