Honor used to seem so clear to Dayven.  Now it had faded into shades of gray.  Like a wizard’s robe.

Dayven has passed the test he wanted most desperately to fail—he’s been proven to have the powers of a wizard.

He had promised never to become one of the deceitful, disloyal sorcerers who believe in nothing and alter people’s true destinies—but now he has no choice.  Thrown into an apprenticeship with a roguish wizard, Dayven discovers that loyalty and trust are never simple, and wizards are more deceptive than he could ever imagine.

The path that was once clear—his friendships, his future, his destiny—is now shadowed with dangerous twists and turns, and the world he knows must change forever.
