Publisher's blurb:
Cronkersburg, Ohio – the City of Stars – sprang from a localised war between organised criminals and rebel Magic Users. These rejects of their respective civilised societies spilled so much of each others blood that they grew to recognise and adapt to the strengths of their foe. In time this urban warfare became a conflict of two houses both alike, and some years later it became clear both factions were fighting for the same thing. The Star Accord was signed, Cronkersburg was divided equally, and everyone got their cut. Now the Legacy, working with local authorities, wants the flourishing City of Stars brought under its control. The thriving Freeriver Sect – the Star Sentinels – refuse to go with the Legacy and join up with the Gaian Consortium. The Sentinels boast among their ranks incredibly powerful Sky Magic Users and gangland mercenaries loyal to them. Their allied non-arcane counterparts are the Virtuana family. The Virtuana’s control what the Star Sentinels do not. Both factions are relying on their blood bond to resist the authorities they fought against for so long, in order to keep the City of Stars prosperous and free.
