Embrace magic. Embrace destiny. Join the adventure.

Aravae and her brother Rin have never led easy lives. For years, they've lived as servants in the kingdom of Elanway, hated for the magic they inherited at birth. Both long to leave Elanway and find a place where their magic is accepted, but Aravae is certain they will never get the chance. She is proved wrong when a mysterious wizard named Velec breaks into a secret vault, intending to steal a powerful magical artifact. When Aravae and Rin confront him, Velec offers to show them the greater world of Dunovar. It seems too good to be true-and it is. Dunovar is on the brink of war, increasingly twisted and tainted with Black Magic. People in every kingdom are suffering, and things are only getting worse. Determined to help, Aravae and Rin join Velec on his quest to free his home kingdom of Anotria from the tyrannical rule of King Meyren. Along the way, Aravae learns a series of increasingly dangerous secrets about herself, her companions, and Dunovar itself.

The first book in a new fantasy trilogy, Aravae is alight with enchanting characters and a vivid magical world. Fans of Shadow and Bone and The Inheritance Cycle will find a new favorite in Aravae.
