Timothy is the only person in existence without magical powers! and has spent most of his life hidden on a remote island. When Timothy is finally taken back to the city of his birth! he is marked for death. Timothy can't imagine what threat he poses. He wields no power--or does he? Chapter One The city of Arcanum was in mourning. Black bunting unfurled from open windows, and the flags of every magical guild had been lowered to half-mast. The ghostfire that burned inside the city's spherical street lanterns had been altered in hue; once golden, it was now scarlet, and would remain so for one full week.

His hands were held out in front of him and from his fingertips tendrils of crackling cobalt energy sparked toward the ground far below, fingers of cerulean fire investigating the road ahead of the carriage. He was a navigation mage, just as his father had been, two generations spent perfecting the sorcery of transportation. It was a worthy endeavor. Honest work for an honest man. Inside the vehicle was Leander Maddox, the man whose family crest adorned its doors. The carriage made the slightest of hums -- generated by the navigator's magic -- but it was little more than white noise to him.
