Ten lands divided. One shattered past. A forbidden magic all but forgotten.
The Quake tore her homeland apart and now, Evella Trapper's family in the norther banks of Corallon, like many for generations, have struggled to survive. Hunting and trapping distracts her from their isolation, but not the sins of her past. During a hunt she meets Arek, a stranger displaced from his home by the ever-present quakes, who seeks shelter for the night. When Arek discovers Evella’s hidden Soulmagic, he reveals the truth—he was sent for her by the king to join a secret army against their enemies.
With the quakes becoming stronger and more frequent, destroying lands and stealing countless lives, Evella takes on training to use her powers for good. If she can stop the quakes, she may finally be able to erase the stain her actions placed on her family nearly a year ago. But that seems impossible when her Soulmagic only surfaces in her sleep.
Far from home with an eclectic team of Soulmagi, Evella struggles to manifest her abilities and is forced to face ghosts of her past— and present. With a thawing heart for Arek, and the discovery of the alarmingly sinister truth behind the destruction, will Evella be able to do the unthinkable to protect the people she loves and the future she desperately wants for them?
