This is the second book of Jaysynn Kyzer.
Previously, in The Fall of the House of Kyzer, a Cataclysm ripped through Thyrion, the seat of the Empire, and emptied its canyon-like Well of magic. The entire royal family died except for the youngest prince, 20-year-old Jaysynn, the only one of his family who was non-Select and could never use magic. General Dracon, also non-Select, had taught Jaysynn to rely instead on the Thyrion military art of tracing, parkour-style running and fighting. With this knowledge, Jaysynn had become the Watchman of Thyrion, a hooded figure offering help to the needy and then disappearing into the night.
When the Cataclysm destroyed half the city, General Dracon took Jaysynn, now Emperor, underground to protect him from riots and the rumor of possible war. Jaysynn, however, took to the streets to see if he could discover for himself what was going on. In the Hall of Records, he discovered censored files of information hinting at something called Project: Godfire, something suspiciously having to do with the magic Well and dangerous magic manipulations. When General Dracon discovered him in the files, he pushed the young Emperor out of the window, five stories above the ground. Jaysynn miraculously survived. Jaysynn’s peasant friend Kyrie saw him fall and stayed near his side, where, mysteriously, Dracon’s soldiers could not find him.
Now, an unconscious Jaysynn is being whisked away from Thyrion on a steam-powered bus with Kyrie, her family, and other refugees. Also, see the parallel storyline beginning in The Select’s Bodyguard and continuing in The Doctor’s Assistant.
