Allison Beckstrom has willingly paid the price of pain to
use magic, and has obeyed the rules of the Authority, the
clandestine organization that makes-and enforces-all magic
policy. But when the Authority's new boss, Bartholomew Wray,
refuses to believe that the sudden rash of deaths in
Portland might be caused by magic, Allie must choose to
follow the Authority's rules, or turn against the very
people for whom she's risked her life.
To stop the plague of dark magic spreading through the city,
all that she values will be on the line: her magic, her
memories, her life. Now, as dead magic users rise to feed
upon the innocent and the people closest to her begin to
fall, Allie is about to run out of options.
