To the north, an ancient enemy long thought defeated begins to stir. Worse, as Davian struggles with his lessons, he knows that there is further to fall if he cannot pass his final tests.īut when Davian discovers he has the ability to wield the forbidden power of the Augurs, he sets into motion a chain of events that will change everything. Despised by most beyond the school walls, he and those around him are all but prisoners as they attempt to learn control of the Gift. A representation of these laws is now written into the flesh of any who use the Gift, forcing those so marked into absolute obedience.Īs a student of the Gifted, Davian suffers the consequences of a war fought-and lost-before he was born.
Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs’ fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion’s Four Tenets. The dictatorial Augurs-once thought of almost as gods-were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. It has been twenty years since the end of the war.
