A terrorist attack strikes the very heart of Ardania. The music used as a weapon haunts as it destroys and a generation is thrown into war.
Silas Narkoff emerges from the rubble with the magical phenom Brynne Marshall, one worshiped one disgraces, both with a bone to pick with the cowards overseas.
The counter attack is launched and as Silas and Brynne navigate political mine-fields, a group of young cadets discover they might hold the key to stop these attacks once and for all.
