Born into one of the world's most feared royal bloodlines, Zieora Freidome was condemned as the weakest child because she could not use magic. After surviving seven years of unimaginable torture, she escaped the kingdom with nothing but the mysterious Magic of Presence—and an unlikely companion, a six-eyed shadow wolf named Umbra. Branded a ghost by those who witness her impossible powers, Zieora wanders the world helping strangers, mastering new forms of magic, and searching for a place where loyalty is earned instead of demanded. When an ancient island hidden from the world calls out to her, Zieora discovers a forgotten sanctuary waiting for ten chosen Protectors to awaken it once more. To build the family she never had, she must unite the Protectors, create a kingdom founded on trust, and one day confront the tyrant who calls himself her father—whose empire is sustained by countless stolen souls. Some legends are born from fear. Others are born from hope.
