Sterling Fierce will lose his uncle and his home, the Village of Bren, ‎to a disease born from a dark witch unless he resurrects the magical ‎secrets that he suspects-like his father-are in his blood. With his ‎father dead after a mysterious hunting accident, Sterling must go ‎alone on a quest to seek a cure in the distant Vionin Kingdom. To ‎make matters worse, his path leads him deep into an unfamiliar realm ‎of magic he believed only existed in stories until now. If Sterling is to ‎succeed, he will be forced to learn the truth about Everen's cursed ‎protector, the Red Wolf, and himself.‎
