  the wrath of the angry gods. In this land where fear prevails, magic is as
  mysterious and mighty as the legendary dragons. The Defenders of Magic trilogy
  is the story of powerful mages who daily defend their beloved Art against
  those who would corrupt it or see it abolished.
  
   **Bram** —The new lord of Thonvil discovers that one of his parents is not
  his blood relative. His newfound magical heritage may be all that can stand
  against Lyim Rhistadt’s obsession to destroy magic.
  
   **Kirah** —Guerrand DiThon’s sister has helped to restore Thonvil’s
  prosperity, but she has never lost her longing for Lyim Rhistadt.
  
   **Lyim** —The renegade mage is possessed by an ambition to destroy the magic
  he feels has betrayed him. Now he possesses an artifact that promises to bring
  that destruction about.
