In the kingdom of Shadow, the women who possess the gift are persecuted by men from the Closed, the patriarchal religious order. For centuries now these women have taken refuge in the legendary Sav-Loar, a city at the heart of the Forest of Dreams protected by
spells and illusions.

When Blue becomes a teenager, she discovers her powers and joins forces with a group of slaves pursued by the Closed. Heading to the city of banished female magicians, she will cross paths with Fèl, a manipulative beauty enamored with freedom, and Til’Enarion, a formidable member of the Closed who hunts down young female magicians. The war between magicians reaches its peak, and the reckoning has come for the established order.
