Magic Awakening

Magic in the Five Kingdoms has been tightly held for generations by the Torr, a small circle of wizards who keep the strongest powers for themselves. Their grip has pushed the old arts close to dying out. Zollin, a young wizard, refuses to hand his gift over to them, and that choice sets off far more than a struggle to stay free. Something long dormant stirs in him. As he learns to understand and govern the power he carries, the balance of the realm begins to shift. Creatures thought gone are slowly returning, and rival groups race to use his ability for their own ends. Kingdoms turn against one another, and those nearest to Zollin may pay the price. He is only beginning to grasp his purpose, yet he must decide how much he is willing to risk to protect what matters most to him.
