description: A perilous quest... an unimaginable reward.
  Sword smith Keena Naess leads a secret life in the village of Klifby, where the use of magick, even for healing, is punishable by death. Her family taken from her, her brother disappeared and accused of their parents’ murder, Keena has spent every moment forging a magickal sword that will take her beyond the Veil to learn the truth about their parents' deaths and exonerate her brother. But when she uses her magick to heal a wounded eaglet, she is revealed as a mage to the very people who would execute her.
  Varick Garth, captain of the village’s winged strike force, has given up his wings in order to gain the trust of a mage who can lead him to the Veil, the source of all magick, so he can destroy the Veil and end the years-long unnatural winter that envelops the world.
  Despite the respect and attraction growing between Wing and mage, Varick's orders are to make certain Keena is beyond the Veil when he destroys it. Now he must choose between the Wings that have been his entire life and the woman whose actions engender a loyalty greater than he ever imagined.
