Mara is dirt—worse, actually. She’s a dreg. Nineteen-year-old Mara has spent her whole life wondering why the old Magi refused to awaken her Gift. With no magical ability to call her own, Mara faces a life of persecution with no value, no power and no purpose. When a charming new Magi arrives in her village of Stonehollow, Mara expects more of the same. Instead, she’s thrust into a dangerous tangle of secrets and lies that will shatter everything she thought she knew. Now, Mara must flee the Order—a powerful organization of Magi who will do anything to capture her before she can expose the truth.
