Magic caused the war. Magic is forbidden. Magic will save us. It
was said the Labyrinth had once been the great meeting place, a
sprawling city at the heart of an endless maze where a million
humans hosted the Houses of the Aelfir. The Aelfir who had brought
trade and riches, and a future full of promise. But when the
Thaumaturgists, overlords of human and Aelfir alike, went to war,
everything was ruined and the Labyrinth became an abandoned
forbidden zone, where humans were trapped behind boundary walls 100
feet high. Now the Aelfir are a distant memory and the
Thaumaturgists have faded into myth. Young Clara struggles to
survive in a dangerous and dysfunctional city, where eyes are keen,
nights are long, and the use of magic is punishable by death. She
hides in the shadows, fearful that someone will discover she is
touched by magic. She knows her days are numbered. But when a
strange man named Fabian Moor returns to the Labyrinth, Clara
learns that magic serves a higher purpose and that some myths are
much more deadly in the flesh. The only people Clara can trust are
the Relic Guild, a secret band of magickers sworn to protect the
Labyrinth. But the Relic Guild are now too few. To truly defeat
their old nemesis Moor, mightier help will be required. To save the
Labyrinth - and the lives of one million humans - Clara and the
Relic Guild must find a way to contact the worlds beyond their
walls.
