Peridot has lived a sheltered life, never having left the comfort of her home or met another child before. Until the night of her thirteenth birthday, when a strange boy appears at her window, claiming to have escaped captivity from the mainland. Her mother insists that the ways of the world are to remain concealed until her sixteenth birthday, but she unveils why they live in hiding, the mainland isn't safe for their kind - they are born of magick. Not magic from stories and fables, but real magick from the days of old. On her quest to learn the truth, Peridot leaves the island only to finally comprehend why the truth was kept from her. Life on the mainland is unlike anything she could have fathomed possible, humanity is enslaved, and an unlikely dictator is in charge. Peridot finds herself thrown into a world she wasn't prepared for, caught amongst an ongoing battle between those trying to save humanity and the tyrants seeking to keep them enslaved, struggling to command magickal abilities she doesn't fully understand or know how to control. Peridot's abilities may be the helping hand needed to save humanity from an awful way of life, but at what cost? 

Peridot has fallen, taken to the one place a magick-born does not want to end up. The Descendant's headquarters. Alone, she must learn to embrace her magick in order to break free. Elsewhere on the mainland, with the treaty unsalvageable, The Descendant’s new plans hold dire consequences for all who remain loyal to humans. The Resistance have no choice other than to prepare to make a stand and fight. Whilst all hope may seem lost, with the help of her friends, Peridot may be the saviour humanity needs to end The Descendant’s tyrannic way of life, or the catalyst that could kickstart a war deciding the fate of the Earthlings world, once and for all.
