La primera mujer de la historia admitida en una prestigiosa orden de magos desentraña una conspiración secreta que podría cambiar para siempre el ejercicio de la magia… Durante veinte años, Sciona ha dedicado cada momento de su vida a estudiar magia, alentada por un deseo enloquecido de conseguir lo imposible: ser la primera mujer en ser admitida en la Alta Magistería de la Universidad de Magia e Industria. Cuando finalmente aprueba el examen de acceso y se convierte en alta maga, Sciona descubre que los desafíos solo acaban de empezar. Sus nuevos compañeros están decididos a hacer que sienta que no es bienvenida y, en lugar de un asistente de laboratorio cualificado, le asignan un conserje. Lo que ni ella ni sus compañeros saben es que ese asistente taciturno no siempre fue conserje... Diez años atrás, fue un cazador nómada que perdió a su familia durante un arriesgado viaje desde las llanuras salvajes hasta la ciudad. Pero ahora tendrá la oportunidad de entender las fuerzas que diezmaron a su tribu, lo expulsaron de su tierra y son la causa de que los privilegiados conserven su poder. Al principio, la maga y el extranjero tienen una relación difícil. Pero mientras trabajan juntos, desvelan un secreto ancestral que podría cambiar el curso de la magia para siempre, si no los mata antes.
For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to the study of magic, fueled by a mad desire to achieve the impossible: to be the first woman ever admitted to the High Magistry at the University of Magics and Industry. When Sciona finally passes the qualifying exam and becomes a highmage, she finds her challenges have just begun. Her new colleagues are determined to make her feel unwelcome—and, instead of a qualified lab assistant, they give her a janitor. What neither Sciona nor her peers realize is that her taciturn assistant was not always a janitor. Ten years ago, he was a nomadic hunter who lost his family on their perilous journey from the wild plains to the city. But now he sees the opportunity to understand the forces that decimated his tribe, drove him from his homeland, and keep the privileged in power.
