Maia was born with violet eyes, but never knew they had a special meaning. When she discovers magic within herself, the truth soon surfaces, and her life is changed forever. It's no coincidence that she was born with this unusual iris. It is the ancestral trait of her forefathers, a powerful family of spellcasters called the Abecedarians, who were murdered by their enemy, King Zorach of Umbragh. Maia is the last surviving heir of this ancient legacy, which means she is the last hope of fulfilling the Abecedarian prophecy. According to this foretelling, she will one day overthrow Zorach and bring peace to her people; but only if she can unlock the secrets hidden within her.
