With nothing left behind except the letter’s cryptic instructions, Will is drawn into a hidden world of magic, war, and secrets. Along the way, he meets new friends, faces dangerous enemies, and begins to uncover the truth about the king, the destruction of his home, and the one truly responsible for everything he has lost.
