The year is 1512. The Lightbearers have escaped to Mesoamerica in an attempt to hide from the shapeshifters who want to kill them for their magic.

In 1512, female Lightbearers didn't conjure swords, or protect themselves from dangerous shifters. At least, not until Sabine Flemming did just that, because damn it, she didn't want to die.

In 1512, the newest Lightbearer king, James Bennett, was tired of running away every time the shifters attacked. He wanted to fight, but he didn't have enough warriors to protect his people.

In 1512, a shifter named Xander Wulf found a Lightbearer, but he didn't kill her, baffling even himself. But for the first time, he suspected killing wasn't the way to inherit their magic.

Everything changed for the Lightbearers and their mortal enemy, the shapeshifters, in 1512, five hundred years before book one, Into the Light, takes place. Find out what happened to propel into action a sequence of events that have set the stage for the rest of the series.
