Cursed with unstable magic, mute servant Glory dreams of freedom and a place to belong. But with a ruthless slave hunter on her trail, Glory is forced to survive on the margins of society- until she meets a troupe of traveling performers and their charismatic captain.
With his promise of protection, Glory joins Faleron Eversteel's caravan of the Arcane- a sanctuary for those born with rare magic in a prejudiced world. But Faleron is an actor with many masks, and Glory must decide which persona is the charming altruist or the cunning manipulator.
Drawn into a world of danger and wanderlust, Glory and Faleron must discover a way to defy her lethal curse. Their journey carries them across the rolling hills and forests of Tairtiary, performing perilous performances and competing in close-combat competitions. But when Glory’s slave hunter targets the caravan itself, Glory must step up as their unlikely defender or risk losing her new family altogether.
