In a land where monsters roam and magic is seized by those in power, disruption is in the air.
The magical barrier which separates Falladin, a kingdom of wild magic, and Satoria, a kingdom where possessing magic is dangerous, is failing. Nightmarish monsters, and long-forgotten gods have crossed into the land of Satoria, leaving death and destruction in their wake.
Tess, an orphan lives in a small town near the crumbling barrier with her guardian Yolanda, the town's healer. Her life is a simple one of gathering herbs and other ingredients for healing elixirs.
Cage is the bastard son of the Usurper King and one of the kingdom's Interrogators, tasked to seek out Satorians harboring secret magic. He is sent to the border to find and capture a rumored witch of the north.
After an attack which leaves one of his soldier's dead and another possessed, he seeks out a healer in the nearest town. When Tess meets Cage she feels an attraction to him, but the sight of his Interrogator tattoos terrifies her. She knows Yolanda's healing magic is at risk of being exposed, and Yolanda taken prisoner.
Tess doesn't realize her actions have far-reaching consequences. The fate of Satoria hangs in the balance.
