Today, witches are hunted at every turn. The Twelve Great Houses have collapsed under betrayal and infighting; they have abandoned their charges, forsaking the very source of their gifts. They teeter on the brink of extinction and their best chance at survival—a five-year-old boy with enough power to topple mountains—disappeared 15 years ago. That boy has become a man who doesn’t remember what he was. The very spell that was woven to hide him from the world also has hidden his true self. It is Alexander Starkweather’s destiny to restore the Divine Blood to power and lead them into a new age.
