The spirits have kidnapped two young girls, and Adaira wants Jack's help to find out why. After making the dangerous journey homeward, however, he learns that it was his childhood rival, the laird's daughter, Adaira, who summoned him. He comes home a decade later, after he receives a letter from the Laird of the East asking him to return. The Tamerlaines sent Jack away from Cadence when he was just 11 years old, forcing him to leave the magical island he'd always called home and train as a bard at a mundane university. In the east, the Tamerlaines weave magic into objects at a steep cost to their well-being, yet they maintain bountiful relationships with both the land and its spirits. The Breccans in the west can wield magic themselves, but the land is unyielding and the spirits there, hostile. Thanks to a centuries-old curse, the controlling clans of the east and west live in completely different worlds on the Isle of Cadence. A magical island welcomes back its prodigal son in a tale that blends political intrigue with elements of a fantasy thriller.
