Anna Benneker is scared. So are most Magickers, the long-established and long-hated community of outcasts. But with her mother interfering with her life in every way possible, Anna doesn't know how she can lead her life at all. Her older brother is her refuge; her memories, the bane of her existence. All she knows for sure is healing is her destiny and the battlefield is the one place she feels truly at home - exactly the same as her dead father. But when a message arrives to remind her of her past, Anna must decide: is it worth risking multiple lives to save a single one? Who, if anyone, is to be trusted to tell the entire truth when Elite soldiers could lurk around any corner outside of the Compound? And with the biggest war in living memory twenty years past, how soon will another begin?
