Before a prophecy can be fulfilled, it must be foreseen. Synari is barely thirteen years old when she runs away from home. Accepting the hospitality of a few tent-dwelling women, Synari agrees to join them indefinitely, soon discovering what she has gotten herself into. Reluctantly, she swears allegiance to the zealous deity Virina and begins a life of mindless chores accented by dark magic and sacred ritual. Synari comes to accept it, shedding her insecurities in favor of self-assured independence. The great power mentioned in the prophecy for Synarias life begs to be realized. Synarias time in the tent outside Wind-Cloud is only the beginning, as she sets out with two companions for the legendary Castle Blackstone. Its towering walls hold many secrets, and there are many more to be created. Synarias determination to gain ultimate power and influence pushes past all obstacles, matched only by her penchant for revenge.
