After the sickness known as the Doom destroyed civilization, magick has become commonplace. Fallon Swift cannot live in peace until she frees those who have been preyed upon by the government or the fanatical Purity Warriors, endlessly hunted or locked up in laboratories, brutalized for years on end. Strengthened by the bond she shares with her fellow warrior, Duncan, Fallon has already succeeded in rescuing countless shifters and elves and ordinary humans. Now she must help them heal-- and rediscover the light and faith within themselves. Although from the time of her birth, she has been The One, she is still only one. And as she faces down an old nemesis, sets her sights on the enemy's stronghold, and pursues her destiny-- to finally restore the mystical shield that once protected them all-- she will need an army behind her.
