    About this ebook

    Nobody knows better than Jeorek that a Stormrider without a sorcerer is nothing but unfulfilled potential.  When he finally finds a young man with a resonant aura, however, he discovers that the sorcerer fate has bequeathed him isn't anything like what he expected.  At first glance, Dare is a mute, crippled slave with no discernible power, but he soon proves to be far more than he appears.  He's not only a nobleman's son, but he's also one of the most powerful Illusionists in the empire.  So how did he wind up as a slave?  As Jeorek learns about his sorcerer's shadowed past, he must gain Dare's trust to unravel the mystery that surrounds him before the young man's enemies become his own.  In a world where magical illusions can obscure reality, will he be able to see the danger coming?  What's more, will he be able to weather the storm?

      THE HOLLOW OF the oak tree wasn’t dark enough. Zoia squeezed her head between her knees, letting her wool dress mute the sunlight, the sounds of the forest, and the angry knife of grief that found her heart every time she thought about last night. Zo
