Commoners Rill Larkin and his friend Jedd Euland, a backwatcher were looking for a cougar when they stumble into a tomb. Inside are sarcophagus with charms and magic staffs. Rill wants to be a mage more than anything else. He takes a few charms and uses one which starts a fire and becomes uncontrollable. His family then forbids him to attend the Naming Ceremony. Angry, he goes to the magistrate and pleads for intervention.

Alyse and Mora Dejune are twins. They are from one of the oldest and powerful magical noblesse families. Their cousin Kate is a backwatcher. Siema, their grandmother, has betrothed Alyse to Troy Estati to maintain their political alliance. Alyse would rather be expelled than marry Troy.

The story has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. I grew attached to the characters and could not believe the book ended. Now I have to get books two and three to find out what happens next. If you like young adult magical quest stories, you may enjoy reading this book.

A great coming of age story. If you enjoy stories of magic and characters beating the odds, you should read this one!

harm Wars set in the land of Caldon, a world consisting mages, political magical noblesse set to destroy the commoners who may be set on destroying the lives of the noblesse.
The plot and characters are well described giving readers an ability to visually the view and characters. The story pictures on what a magical life of mages could be like as the young adults learn how to perform their magic. Charms help them to be able to create their magic to seek out and steal other charms belonging to other nobelesse. A story full of deceits and treacheries along with loveless marriage alliances among them. A recommended book for teenagers and young adults, I also recommend to anyone who likes to read the Sci Fi and Fantasy genre.
