The steerswomen were seekers, collectors of knowledge, and whatever they learned was free for the asking. The wizards also had knowledge– the knowledge to command nature itself–but they jealously guarded their dark wisdom.

Rowan has no choice: Slado must be stopped . . . if he can even be found.

But the secrets go deeper than Rowan had ever imagined, compelling her to wonder: What if all this time she has been askingthe wrong questions?
