Synopsis
Francesca DeVega is a healer in the city of Avel, composing magical sentences that close wounds and disspell curses. It has been ten years since Nicodemus Weal escaped the Starhaven Academy, where he was considered disabled and useless, and where he battled the demon who stole his birthright and killed his friends; now Francesca discovers that Avel is secretly controlled by the demon Typhon, in preparation for the Disjunction, a prophesied demonic invasion, and that she is somehow key to Typhon's plot to recruit Nicodemus. As she joins him, at first reluctantly, in his quest to thwart Typhon, find the second dragon and recover the emerald that will cure his cacography, she learns one more devastating truth about herself.
