On the planets within the Maylin Fold, Aster's ancestors have a long history of magical dealings, and he's the last in the line who can solve the riddle of where the famous sorcerer, Almara, disappeared to two hundred years ago.
But Cadoc, the raving commander who has long sought to stamp out all knowledge of Almara, has caught wind of Aster's plans. He joins the hunt, only it's Aster he seeks. If he can't sway the boy to unite with him, then his head on a spike will have to do.
Aster needs to get back to Earth, NOW, and he's certain that finding Almara is the key to making his way home.
But Cadoc draws ever closer, and the madman's noose grows tighter around Aster's neck with each step he takes along the trail Almara left behind.
