In the Raverran Empire, magic is scarce and those born with power are strictly controlled -- taken as children and conscripted into the Falcon Army.

Zaira has lived her life on the streets to avoid this fate, hiding her mage-mark and thieving to survive. But hers is a rare and dangerous magic, one that threatens the entire empire.

Lady Amalia Cornaro was never meant to be a Falconer. Heiress and scholar, she was born into a treacherous world of political machinations. But fate has bound the heir and the mage.

War looms on the horizon. A single spark could turn their city into a pyre.

«Дверь ни за что не отворяй», - гласит первая заповедь стражников Сумеречного замка. Веками они охраняют Чёрную Башню, где за обсидиановой дверью таится сила, которой жаждут овладеть многие – и которая никогда не должна вырваться наружу.

Грядут времена страха и крови, и лишь Риксандер под силу предотвратить их. Даже если для этого придётся объединиться с тем, кто явился в её замок врагом.
