The supreme mage, expelled by his kin from the clan of the Chosen for disobedience, is a sixteen-year-old boy who has crossed the threshold of childhood without receiving the Destiny and therefore hasn’t been admitted into adulthood—and a talking beast called the Keeper… Quite a strange company even for Rozgaria, where every living creature—whether plant, beast, or human—by birth is endowed with magic.
Some fear them, others long to kill them, but no one except the exiled mage knows why they are together.
