Emma was just a normal sixteen-year-old girl before her twin nearly burned her to death. She learns she has magic and is exiled from her sleepy mining town in the company of an archmage. Their destination: The Tower of the Seven Stars, where they are expected to learn to harness their magic before it destroys them or those around them. But their journey does not go as planned, for the Cult of Rae, intent on obtaining a powerful world-ending artifact, interrupts their journey, kidnapping them. Can Emma and her friends overcome overwhelming odds and stop the Cult of Rae before it’s too late?

The Cult of Rae have been dealt a blow, but they are far from defeated. Now, as the summer break approaches and Tar Ebon is attacked, Emma embarks on a desparate journey with new allies. But things do not go as planned, for the Cult of Rae are back with a plan for ultimate revenge, including bringing back their banished leader and gaining access to weapons that could end the world. Can Emma and her allies stop the Cult of Rae before they use the Halls of Light to bring about the apocalypse? The third installment in the Mageborn Saga, "Halls of Light" takes place six months after "The Cursed Tower" and around twenty years after The Shadow Trilogy book "Shadows Fall."
