Adrian Montes and Rhys Cooper can seem very different, but they have three things in common:

-A natural talent for magic. They are able to cast powerful spells through the reading of literary fragments.

-The idyllic summers that they spent together in Tuscany when they were children, avoiding each other as much as possible.

-The troubling accident where both of their mothers were killed, fifteen years ago.

Now that they are older and have been admitted in the prestigious Magic and Eloquence University of Florence, Adrian hopes that Rhys and he will be able to leave their rivalry behind and spend some more time together. Maybe they will even be able to join forces in order to investigate what really happened fif-

teen years ago. Because Adrian suspects that what killed Rhys’s mother and his own wasn’t just an uncontrolled spell, and that now they are in danger too.
