Argessa is a newly colonized land, an untamed jungle where it is said natives perform feats of magic and witchcraft. Zerrick Dhur yearns to explore this new world where he was born, but he fears his father, the Reverend, will never approve. Worse, Zerrick is learning magic in a society that burns witches at the stake.

Dreams call him of a woman in a ring of mountains, far away. When accusations start to fly, Zerrick must flee and answer the question that burns inside. Is magic a force for good, or for evil? Madness looms, demons chase him, and magic threatens to overwhelm him.

With the help of a fellow colonial girl and two native scouts, Zerrick will journey deep into the land, to find the heart of magic.
