Original.

In a land on the brink of peace--watched jealously by a ruthless cult from across the sea and beset by hidden enemies--five extraordinary humans must serve as sword and shield of the Gods.Auraya is one. Her heroism saved a village from destruction; now Auraya has been named Priestess of the White. The limits of her unique talents must be tested in order to prove her worthy of the honor and grave responsibility awarded to her. But a perilous road lies ahead, fraught with pitfalls that will challenge the newest servant of the gods. An enduring friendship with a Dreamweaver--a member of an ancient outcast sect of sorcerer-healers--could destroy Auraya's future. And her destiny has set her in conflict with a powerful and mysterious, black-clad sorcerer with but a single purpose: the total annihilation of the White. And he is not alone . . .

Earning the grudging respect of her fellow novices and a place in the Magicians' Guild, Sonea reluctantly shares the terrible secrets of High Lord Akkarin and the knowledge that the Guild has been targeted by an ancient enemy and enters into a perilous alliance with Akkarin that could destroy her or lead her to true greatness--if she survives. Original.

"Even if a magician's powers surface of their own accord, he will soon be dead if he does not gain the knowledge of how to control them."Alone among all the novices in the Magicians' Guild, only Sonea comes from lowly beginnings. Yet she has won powerful allies--including Lord Dannyl, newly promoted to Guild Ambassador. But Dannyl must now depart for the Elyne court, leaving Sonea at the mercy of the lies and malicious rumors her enemies are busy spreading . . . until the High Lord Akkarin steps in. The price of Akkarin's support is dear, however, because Sonea, in turn, must protect his mysteries--and a secret that could lead a young novice mage deep into the darkness.Meanwhile, Dannyl's first order to resume High Lord Akkarin's long-abandoned research into ancient magical knowledge is setting him on an extraordinary journey fraught with unanticipated peril--as he moves ever-closer to a future both wondrous . . . and terrible.

"We should expect this young woman to be more powerful than our average novice, possibly even more powerful than the average magician."This year, like every other, the magicians of Imardin gather to purge the city of undesirables. Cloaked in the protection of their sorcery, they move with no fear of the vagrants and miscreants who despise them and their work--until one enraged girl, barely more than a child, hurls a stone at the hated invaders . . . and effortlessly penetrates their magical shield.What the Magicians' Guild has long dreaded has finally come to pass. There is someone outside their ranks who possesses a raw power beyond imagining, an untrained mage who must be found and schooled before she destroys herself and her city with a force she cannot yet control.
