In the Kingdom of Oru, power lies in agbára: the ability to harness the sun . . .
Only young L'ore has no agbára. A fact she must conceal from everyone - including best friend Alawani - on pain of death.
When the gods declare Alawani a High Priest - the Gods' servant - he faces a terrible trial likely to kill him. Unwilling to lose her friend, L'ore vows to save him. But as she does, a forbidden shadow magic pours from her hands.
Pursued, L'ore and Alawani seek sanctuary in a forbidden land beyond Oru. Here lies the home of L'ore's secret shadow magic.
But great powers are gathering. And L'ore and Alawani cannot help be at the centre of this conflict. A war that would split them apart and bring down their world . . .
