They have betrayed you, the woman’s voice suddenly whispered in his tortured mind.

Blood dripping down the tip of his battered blade, Alec cannot bear to look at Isabelle’s pale horrified expression. Above them, the roar of the crowds is almost deafening. Around them, are the slain corpses of his opponents. Their first official mission having failed, Alec and Isabelle are sold to Zerrok’s most prominent arena. Finding himself trapped as a gladiator once again is more than Alec’s nightmares coming to light, for to refuse his master is to end his partner’s life.

An unexpected foe aids the two sorcerers in their escape. However, upon returning to Malyndor, Alec is only allowed a brief moment of peace. A new threat has breached their borders, requiring a much more advanced level of magic to stave off the assault. Armed with the knowledge of the prophecy linked to his mark, Alec has never been more certain that he is cursed.

With each new battle, Alec’s powers continue to grow, as does the voice sounding in his mind. Her words he cannot ignore, and her voice Alec cannot seem to escape. Dark forces will test him and old enemies will try to push the Dragon Sage past his breaking point. Yet, as the prophesied time draws near, Alec begins to realize that the key to his destiny may not be in his life, but in the warrior’s death.
