Somewhere under the grey cobblestones of Martella hides the very last bit of magic and 18-year-old Will needs to find it now. There is no other way to save his only friend from imminent death. But the Guild of Monsters are watching him and nobody knows they exist and that they have been in control of the magic in the city, silently declaring no mercy to those that defy them.

They were untouchable. Until now.

Lina, a traitor's daughter with cutting political ambitions, and childhood friend Connor, a refugee desperately fighting against his seer abilities, embark on a quest to figure out who or what is controlling the future of magic in Martella. The Guild of Monsters targets them, but when all hope is lost Will appears and they fight together.

He has magic now. Not enough to cure his friend but enough to put up a fight.

Racing against the clock, the young trio searches for the enemy, only to find themselves astray in the dangerous underground labyrinths of the city, their quest threatened by personal demons lurking through the tunnels. Can they recover the rest of the stolen magic? Is it enough for Will to create the spell he needs? And will they make it in time to save his friend?

Action, mystery and adventure blend with humour and friendship in this fast-paced, multiple point-of-view, coming of age Fantasy Novel , set in a continent rife with war and wonder, at a time where magic is scarce and the most coveted resource in the land.
