Time is running out for this other-worldly land, where magic is normal. Sunsets last for hours. And abundance is in abundance. There’s no racism, ageism, or genderism. It’s a perfect world. Or is it...
Thirteen clans, each with a different kind of magic, reside within Evintyde’s four warring kingdoms. Their rulers have no rules, except one: Physical Perfection is the Law! Those who are not physically perfect, a blind eye, injured hand, foot, or wing that can't be healed? Banished to the Mysts, a savage dead-land teaming with hideous killer-beasts.
Such is the fate of Kandide, a self-absorbed newly crowned young Queen who possesses Evintyde’s live-giving spell. Without its deployment, Evintyde will cease to exist.
When Kandide is brutally injured by Lady Aron—a power-mad, revenge-seeking Sorceress—and mysteriously disappears, her only hope of surviving is to align with those she was taught to fear, a ragtag band of other ‘Imperfects.’ To save themselves, they must destroy their world.
