In Merilon, magic is life. Without it, you’re nothing—literally.
Joram was born without magic. Cast out and left for dead, he survives by mastering illusion and hiding his true nature. But when a violent encounter forces his secret into the open, Joram is marked as a dead man walking—a being with no place in a world powered by sorcery.
Fleeing to the outlawed Technologists, who wield forbidden science, Joram discovers he may be more powerful than anyone imagined. Joined by the reluctant cleric Saryon, he sets out on a quest that will challenge the foundations of their world and pit them against the dark warlocks of Duuk-tsarith.
Their goal: to forge the Darksword—an artifact capable of absorbing magic and rewriting destiny.
