Out of a deep past rise the Tolen, whose records lie in a Codex in a hidden Library. The young scryer is one of them, don't you know?
Prophecy, a labyrinth, and a race against time. The Esarad, a field that is home to powerful scryers immersed in ancient wisdom, has come under threat. Karin Anavid must protect her daughter who was born with the power to see beyond time itself. With their guardian Maeta, they embark on a dangerous and desperate journey across a land gutted by war. But their enemy, a ruler obsessed with destroying the Esarad, will stop at nothing to find them.
As they seek out the fabled city of Alcedama as their haven, Karin's daughter Yorajil discovers her own destiny and must navigate the forces that pull her toward her true home.
At the heart of it all lies a doomsday trigger, an ancient prophecy waiting to be fulfilled. Can Karin and her companions save the sacred and healing power of the Esarad, or is it already too late?
