For one hundred and seventy-two years, magic has been forbidden.
The Ministry claims the world is safer without it. According to their history, magic nearly destroyed civilization-and the ancient Vein of power beneath the city of Ciovarre has long since gone silent.
But Elias Harold learns the truth.
Beneath the city, the Vein still flows. And the Ministry's newest invention-the massive Meridian Engine-is not meant to merely power the city.
It is meant to control magic itself.
When Elias is drawn into the Carmine Order, a secret society determined to restore the Vein, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. As the Engine nears activation, Elias and his allies must risk everything to stop a future where magic is permanently caged.
But awakening the Vein will change more than the balance of power.
Because if magic returns to Ciovarre...
it will return to everyone.
And once magic begins to breathe again, no one-not even the Ministry-will be able to contain it.
