She’ll need magical help to do the right thing—if she can remember what that is. When Ana walked into the Ceremony Hall, she expected to be named the next leader of her people—even if she didn’t want the job. She didn’t expect to end the day carrying the mark of an evil power that whispers dark thoughts of death and destruction to her at every moment. And she certainly never thought she’d be banished from the Sybii, her people. Now, if she wants to overcome the dark magic she carries, she’ll need the help of a young mage who can banish curses and the sibyl boy who’s loved her for years. If only they can keep from destroying this world—and others—in the process.
