A forbidden text. A fractured goddess. A world teetering on the edge of tyranny.
When the young wizard Freed dreams of a radiant maiden pleading for his help, he dismisses it as mere fantasy?until she appears again, in the waking world, asking him to gather her shattered fragments. Her name is Liniar. She is no ordinary spirit. And the pieces of her soul are hidden in the ruins of a forgotten age.
Joined by a loyal warrior, a fugitive thief, and a heretic priestess, Freed is drawn into a perilous search through ancient temples, haunted wastelands, and the subjugated city of a dark empire. But Pragma, a sorcerous city-state powered by enslaved magic and corrupted faith, has learned of Liniar's return?and they will stop at nothing to erase her from existence.
As the fragments of the Silver Codex come to light, so too do terrible truths: of gods and monsters, lost history, and the price of rebellion. And as Liniar begins to remember who?and what?she truly is, the battle for Yborias' future may rest on one fragile hope.
Ancient secrets stir, and the hunt begins.
