Seventeen-year-old Han Alister is not someone whom everyone likes because of the past to which this young lord is connected to. No matter how hard we try in life but the deed once done cannot be undone. The young man used to be a Ragmarket lord in the past and then he left all of that behind and came to the academy of magic where he aimed to learn magic. His aim was to skill himself in the art of magic so that he can change his fate for the better.
Alister was not liked by the students but he didn’t give way to haters rather he started working on his skills in a better way. He joined hands with a mysterious wizard at the academy who could help him in learning magic in a better way. Perhaps the words of the haters did affect his mind after all.
He wanted to rise and prove himself as a better magician in front of the others. Forging a team with the mysterious wizard was not an ideal thing for him. Later he realized that he has made a mistake because the wizard had some dark plans that he wanted to fulfill and now Alister was also a part of that plan.
Carol Monda has narrated something like this after a long time but for the author Cinda Williams Chima this was not the first time. The Demon King and Shadowcaster are also under the belt of the author and she happens to be an expert in writing fantasy tales. The story is a good one but it is the climax that will amaze you the most.
