Tekst achterflap

A century after a magical cataclysm shattered the world, the empire of Adalor fears and hunts magic through the ruthless Inquisition. When miner Wynn is accused of sorcery, he is taken into custody by Elara, a loyal young Inquisitor. But the “monster” she is meant to despise is not what she expected. As truth begins to fracture everything she believes, Elara is forced into an alliance with Wynn. Together, they uncover a rot at the empire’s core—and spark a rebellion that could either save their world… or burn it to ashes.
