Orphaned
as a child and raised by a brooding grandfather who can’t stand the sight of
him, Xavier feels like a freak. Gifted, or cursed, with the visions and powers
of his Jardi mother, and isolated on his grandfather’s estate, he thinks he’ll
go mad.
On
his sixteenth birthday, when he finally escapes the dreary prison of his
grandfather’s to attend university, he’s bullied because he’s Jardi. While he
struggles to fit in, a master alchemist takes him on as apprentice and helps
him develop his gift.
But
just when things are looking up for Xavier, a mysterious seer appears to
deliver a dark prophesy. A sorcerer wants to kill him because of his gift.
Gifted with the Jardi sight to see inside things and transform them, Xavier
must accept his roots if he hopes to survive.
His
only allies against the sorcerer are a magical falcon, who is both guardian and
mother hen, and an irritatingly smug knight who keeps a perilous secret.
When
the trio arrives at the sorcerer’s castle, Xavier is enchanted by statues that
spring to life, fairies and winged horses that fly out of draperies and demon
cuckoo clocks that deliver sardonic messages. Seduced by the sorcerer’s
illusion, Will Xavier choose the cold, starlight voices that beckon him to
darkness or the love of his friends.
