When Tessla Harrow is driven from her home by the fighting, she discovers a depth of power she never knew she had and an irrestistible draw towards Vale Gardner, the son of the most pwerful mage her people have ever known the black witch. Light Mage: Before Elloren Gardner came to possess the White Wand of myth, the Wand was drawn to another bearer: Sagellyn Gaffney.

But in order to keep the Wand safe from the dark forces hunting for it, Sage must abandon everything she once knew and forge a new path for herself a dangerous course that could lead to either triumph or utter ruin.
