*Over 3 million Trudi Canavan copies sold worldwide*
Each year the magicians of Imardin gather together to purge the city streets of vagrants, urchins and miscreants. Masters of the disciplines of magic, they know that no one can oppose them. But their protective shield is not as impenetrable as they believe.
Sonea, angry, frustrated and outraged by the treatment of her family and friends, hurls a stone at the shield, putting all her rage behind it. To the amazement of all who bear witness, the stone passes unhindered through the barrier and renders a magician unconscious.
The guild's worst fear has been realised . . . There is an untrained magician loose on the streets. She must be found before her uncontrolled powers unleash forces that will destroy both her, and the city that is her home.

Sonea entwickelt magische Kräfte und soll in die Magier-Guilde eintreten, wehrt sich aber mit aller Macht dagegen, da die Magier und den einfachen Menschen verhasst sind.
Boah das Buch hat sich GEZOGEN. Wow ich habe tatsächlich über 1 Jahr an den 365 Seiten gelesen. Der Zwischenteil der Verfolgungsjagd ging VIEL VIEL VIEL zu lange und wirkte repetitiv. Es hat mich echt Kraft gekostet dieses Buch weiterzulesen. Aber da meine Mama mir die Trilogie empfohlen hatte, wollte ich doch wissen, was sie daran so gut fand. Am Ende ist das Buch dann doch wieder echt spannend. Trotzdem nur 2.5 ⭐️ weil es sich doch sehr zieht.
This book has been on my radar probably ever since it was first published, and on my shelf for about half that time too. The story is fairly simple, and there's definitely room for fleshing out the characters, but the way I've looked at it is I've just finished the first third of a compete story. So, these failings are forgivable. What got me hooked though, and the reason I will keep reading are two things. Firstly, the relationships between the main set of characters were special, something you could really believe in, even if you didn't know those characters as well as you could. The second is that, there were enough seeds scattered for future plot developments, that despite one arc having finished, there's enough intrigue to urge me to continue. I believe the second two books are improvements in the first, and personally I'm looking forward to finding out if that is the case!
