Tales speak of a long awaited magic returning to the kingdom of Appernysia, found in a young child from a distant village. Even the enemy has joined in the hunt, frantic to recruit him first. But no one can find this rumored Beholder. Years later, in a desperate attempt to save his twin sister's life, 17-year-old Lon Marcs discovers he is this Beholder. He rescues Mellai with an intimidating display of power, but the act only brings an onslaught of further pain and suffering. If Lon doesn't learn how to control this magical gift named True Sight, he will kill himself and everyone he cares for. Only one option remains. Lon must journey deep into the enemy's territory, searching for a scholar with ample knowledge of True Sight. But this also means Lon has to leave everything behind, including his beloved Kaylen. Although this is the hardest decision Lon has ever made, it is only the first of many that will test his strength and challenge his interpretation of right and wrong.
