Chronicling the path of a young man, Makail, with supernatural powers inherited from his parents, this story takes you on an incredible journey. In the fantasy realm Jackson created for this book, Makail must travel to another land, Pithlyn, to find safety under the queen. As his former land attacks Pithlyn upon his escape, finding safety turns into protecting Pithlyn while falling in love with the queen. Jackson also incorporates poetry in a way never before done. Without interrupting the flow of action in his story, two of his characters speak in iambic pentameter, which is displayed in poetic format in the appendix.
