This is the second book of Bron and Calea.
Previously, in The Select’s Bodyguard, a Cataclysm emptied the city of Jalseion of magic from its central Well, resulting in the Select also losing all magic powers. Bron, bodyguard to Section Guide and Select scientist Calea Lisan, awoke to find his home collapsed on him. His only thought was to rescue his young charge, Calea, from her Tower home in the Wheel at the center of destruction. He crossed the flaming city to get to her.
Meanwhile, Calea, accustomed to magic to power one artificial arm and one artificial leg, was down to two working limbs and had to crawl her way to safety. When Bron found her, Calea insisted they go in search of a battery to power her limbs. Near her labs in the Academy, they discovered intruders attempting to steal Calea’s research and technology. Failing that, the intruders stole Calea’s artificial limbs…right off her body. Bron carried a weak Calea into the empty magic Well in the hopes of finding leftover magic. Though no form of physical magic was found, Calea mysteriously recuperated.
Now, Bron and Calea are on their way to Averieom to seek new limbs for Calea and discover whether magic still exists elsewhere in the world. Also, see the parallel storyline in The Fall of the House of Kyzer.
