He discovers a terrifying, impossible ability: he can copy the supernatural powers of others, a gift that defies every known law of magic and threatens to unravel centuries of carefully constructed order. As a mysterious symbol burns beneath his skin and a bloodthirsty girl with glowing red eyes confronts him, Kael realizes his greatest weakness might be the very thing the world fears most. What forgotten power stirs within him, and what will happen when the kingdom discovers the truth about the boy who was never supposed to exist?
