A newly chosen warrior priestess must defend her people in this fantasy series debut from the USA Today–bestselling author of the Black Magician trilogy.
In a magical land beset by hidden enemies, the gods call upon five extraordinary humans to unite their peoples in peace. Courageous young Aurava never imagined that she would be chosen. But as the newest Priestess of the White, endowed with phenomenal powers, she has little time to adjust before she must face a perilous challenge.
Mysterious black-clad sorcerers from the south plague the land, and rumors of an army being raised have Aurava and her colleagues on high alert. They work tirelessly to seal alliances and unite the northern continent under their banner, but time is running out. Meanwhile, an enduring friendship with a Dreamweaver—a member of an ancient outcast sect of sorcerer-healers—could threaten Aurava's future and her fight to save the land of the White.
