"An orphan since the age of four, Sciona has always had more to prove than her fellow students. For twenty years, she has devoted every waking moment to the study of magic, fueled by a mad desire to achieve the impossible: to be the first woman ever admitted to the High Magistry, Tiran's magic academy. When she finally claws her way up the ranks to become a highmage, however, she finds that her challenges have just begun. Her new colleagues will stop at nothing to let her know she is unwelcome, beginning with giving her a janitor instead of a qualified lab assistant. What neither Sciona nor her peers realize is that her taciturn assistant was once more than a janitor; before he mopped floors for the mages, Thomil was a nomadic hunter from beyond Tiran's magical barrier. Ten years have passed since he survived the perilous crossing that killed his family. But working for a highmage, he sees the opportunity to finally understand the forces that decimated his tribe, drove him from his homeland, and keep the Tiranish in power. Through their fractious relationship, mage and outsider uncover an ancient secret that could change the course of magic forever--if it doesn't get them killed first. Sciona has defined her life by the pursuit of truth, but how much is one truth worth with the fate of civilization in the balance?"-- Provided by publisher. -- Some violence. Spanish language.

"Durante veinte años, Sciona ha dedicado cada momento de su vida a estudiar magia, alentada por un deseo enloquecido de conseguir lo imposible: ser la primera mujer en ser admitida en la Alta Magistería de la Universidad de Magia e Industria. Cuando finalmente aprueba el examen de acceso y se convierte en alta maga, Sciona descubre que los desafíos solo acaban de empezar. Sus nuevos compañeros están decididos a hacer que sienta que no es bienvenida y, en lugar de un asistente de laboratorio cualificado, le asignan un conserje. Lo que ni ella ni sus compañeros saben es que ese asistente taciturno no siempre fue conserje... Diez años atrás, fue un cazador nómada que perdió a su familia durante un arriesgado viaje desde las llanuras salvajes hasta la ciudad. Pero ahora tendrá la oportunidad de entender las fuerzas que diezmaron a su tribu, lo expulsaron de su tierra y son la causa de que los privilegiados conserven su poder. Al principio, la maga y el extranjero tienen una relación difícil. Pero mientras trabajan juntos, desvelan un secreto ancestral que podría cambiar el curso de la magia para siempre, si no los mata antes." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Traducido de la edición en inglés de 2023. Contiene algunas descripciones de violencia.
