Thirty years ago a spell was cast that exploded the magic in those who wielded the power and millions were consumed by fire. Countries and Governments that had grown dependent on wizards for the new arms race were left floundering and confused. Tensions rose and bled into World War III, and the world was broken by the global bombardment. Magic was thought lost forever. Reese, a young girl, knows the stories and the lore. She has grown comfortable with life in the miles of caverns that make up Mammoth Cave. When Tereo, a wise traveler, arrives to weave a tale of fantasy and fact, the pulse inside her screams out that she is meant for more. Tereo knows that Reese is the only one that can help him perform an unimaginable task. Together, with her cousin Erik and her friend, Emily, the team departs to move the Center of Magic. Dangers, both magical and mundane assault them from all sides. New faces and allies find them, while betrayal lurks close. Can they accomplish their goal before the gathering evil finds the Center of Magic and destroys what’s left of their world?

After narrowly escaping the evil Source - Ambrose, discovering her mother was alive, and finally moving the Center of Magic. Reese finds herself on a floating island surrounded by yet another Source - Eva, with an ancient city of untold mysteries lying behind a magic wall. Still, for all she and her friends have found, they have lost their friend, Em to Ambrose, after a betrayal by one of their own. Now, Ambrose intends to gather the forces of darkness to make a final assault on Reese and take the Center of Magic, the one thing he requires to destroy the world, and remake it as he sees fit. Hope grows dim with every passing moment, and a strange prophecy warns of death, if Em is saved. What price would you pay for a friend’s life?

Reese returns to a place that never embraced or understood her, to compel them out of hiding, and beg them to fight against an evil they do not believe exists. Erik must convince the leader of the Scavengers to join their plight against Ambrose, but how do you convince a man whose son perished at your hands? Em, Dean, and Cole search for the fallen dragon, Chen. If he survived, he may be their only hope against the evil dragon, Malok. With each passing hour, Ambrose, Gale and their followers move closer to the caves. The final battle for the Center of Magic draws near and with it, the fate of the rest of the world.
