A member of a despised race, she's lived her life in the shadows, believing her unique immunity to magic is useless in a world that embraces it.Forced to flee for her life, she meets a powerful stranger with eyes of gold who promises to protect her. But can he be trusted, or is he part of a darker scheme?Hunted by an army of holy warriors intent on fulfilling their ancient prophecy, Kailas is the only one who can stop the world from being plunged into darkness - and that may cost her soul...
