Alira is an escaped slave, once the daughter of a woman who had escaped her own terrible fate. As she learns to survive, her world is torn apart by revelations and secrets that she had either never known or willingly ignored. When one of those revelations destroys her, she suddenly finds she has a limited time to undo the damage done. Now, she must save all of Man Kind from the Unmaking as well as the evil Witches of Morinn, both of which threaten all Alira's ever known. Can Alira resist the darkness inside and find a beacon of light to guide her, or will the Unmaking first undo Alira before the rest of the world?
