Once, the lands of golden magic lived by the laws of anima—the forces of life itself, joy, kind feelings, and good deeds. But the ruthless tribe of Hawks drove away the good wizards and seized power.
It seems the Hawks fear nothing… except prophecy: the only threat to the Empire will be the golden finch—a powerful mage. The invaders are ready for anything to find and capture the finch, and then destroy the land where golden magic still flickers. But on their way stands a young Nil, ready to challenge them. Will he survive these incredible trials? Can he stand against the mighty shadow magic of the Hawks?
