When you’re a Wizard you live by seven unbreakable laws. Break one and it’s an instant death sentence. But what happens when you’re falsely accused? Your only hope is the Doom of Damocles, a stay of execution and a chance to get your old life back. And that’s exactly the choice the White Council has given you - go on a dangerous suicide mission, or face an instant death by the swords of the Wardens. Either way you’re under the Doom of Damocles.
