When their aunt, Finna, misses their father’s funeral, fourteen-year-old twins Colm and Clíana know she has to be in trouble. Finna finally appears with an explanation: she’s developed an illata, a unique magical power, and she’s used it to become one of the city’s best bounty hunters. At least, until a few weeks ago, when a powerful criminal underlord finally got the better of her. Now, he’s marked her as one of his own. Finna promises the twins that she can handle it, but they know she’s lying.

Certain he can save her from the underlord, Colm follows Finna back to the city, while Clíana chases after them as soon as she realizes her brother’s gone. However, Colm’s attempted rescue goes awry once he steals a mysterious pair of dice, and he must escape from the underlord’s thugs himself. Clíana, meanwhile, sets out to recruit the help of a wizard fluent in the magical language of Alchema. Her search introduces her to an elite, exclusive world, a world she finds both intriguing and impossibly beyond her reach.

As both twins move toward finding Finna, and each other, they soon realize they’ve stepped into a world, and a mystery, bigger than they ever imagined—a world of dueling magical fates.

In the big city of Faedstol, twins Colm and Clíana overcame a criminal underworld and magical factions to rescue their aunt. But they can’t rest yet. Joined by their family and new friends, they find themselves on the run from marvels intent on capturing them—and recovering the mysterious, magical dice they possess.

A new city far from home offers hope of tentative refuge, until members of a secret society emerge who have their own plans for the dice, for the two ancient branches of magic that rule all of Cenathel, and for the twins themselves. Unwittingly, Colm and Clíana are thrust into the center of a conspiracy that could change the world for better or worse, if only they could figure out which.

The twins must learn to trust each other and control their burgeoning powers if they want to protect their loved ones. Because somehow, they just might stand in the divide between Alchema and Illata, and the fates that rule them all.
