Tey Moonshine's scarred flesh holds the secret of ancient magic, which threatens the charlatan wizards who govern Sorcerers' Isle.

Injured in a freak accident, Tey Moonshine is good for only one thing: an apprenticeship as a clan sorcerer.

But under the scrutiny of her new master, she can no longer keep her secret concealed. For years now, guided by a demon that lurks within, Tey has cut magical symbols into her flesh.

As her training begins and her powers awaken, death creeps from the shadows, and Tey draws unwanted attention from across the sea.
