In this, the first short story in a series about her personal journey, Alaura begins to have dark dreams filled with the sound of a voice that tugs at her, body and soul. She has always been a bit of an introvert, focused on her studies, but now these dreams lead her down a path of self-exploration that opens her to a whole new world of possibilities and magic. Training as a sorceress at the Academy of Magic is no longer enough. Alaura wants more. But who does the voice belong to? Will she ever meet this phantom who has slowly taken possession of her senses? Will the promises of power that he whispered to her in the dark of her bedchamber be made good? Only time will tell... but either way, the story begins here.
