For generations the prophets have foreseen the birth of the Shadow Seer, an oracle of dark visions and fallen kingdoms. Prince Candale has discovered the truth about himself. He is the Shadow Seer, foretold prophet of dark visions and fallen kingdoms. The witch Mayrila tried to teach him control but she lay dead, struck down by Candale's own hand. The ever-watching shadow has begun to speak with him, urging him to go to the Seer's Tower in the kingdom of Idryan. What he learns there will change everything. The shadow promises rewards for obedience...and severe punishment if he refuses. Does the voice of the shadow belong to the demon Ellenessia and therefore he must obey? Or does it presage the beginnings of Candale's foretold descent into madness?

An ordinary monk discovers that he has mysteriously become the Chosen Initiate, one who is bestowed with superhuman powers. He is enrolled in the Aryavarts School of Yog – the Magical School – where he must now learn how to harness that divine force, which alone can render him a keeper and master of those ancient-powers. But those ancient powers are now hidden behind a mysterious Veil that runs across the Seven Worlds, separating all of humanity from a hidden kingdom that lies beyond. It now falls on the monk to go beyond the Veil, to secure the secret knowledge of the Seers, which alone can dispel the darkness of the coming Age of Chaos. Two other prentice monks join him in this supernatural adventure, which unfolds in incredible encounters with kings, sages, demons, giants, warriors and gods. Will the Chosen Initiate fulfill that great destiny, which will lift the Veil of Shakti, to reveal to him what lies beyond?

Almost sixty years ago, Darkbrook, the only school of magic in the United States, opened its doors to students of decidedly different natures, sending out letters of invitation to the elves, the dragons, and the vampires. The three who responded to the invitation banded together despite their differences but vanished only weeks later along with an entire classroom full of students and their teacher after a field trip gone horribly wrong. The Wild Hunt has healed and the Hounds have grown closer together, keeping Darkbrook's forest safe and secure for those who live there. Malachi, one of the eldest members of the Wild Hunt, has adapted to Josiah's spell to help him see, but when a demon boy trapped in the body of a human body for sixty years inside the school disrupts the newfound calm, the Hunt--and those they protect--are thrust into a struggle that should have ended long ago when a vampire, an elf, and a dragon vanished into the Mists.

The third book in the series, 'The Wizards of Magog', takes Jon and his friends on an unexpected journey home. They had defeated Amethyst, the ogre witch-queen and Ebon, the rogue seer; yet the two friends found that forces beyond their control were conspiring to bring about the downfall of the seers and all that they stood for. Many leagues from their destination, Auger wind-rider, Jon and Hamill were thrown into what was the beginning of a deadly game. Ebon had returned as if from the dead only this time he had powerful allies, the Wizards of Magog. Ages old enemies of the Seers, they had found a way to manipulate the unsuspecting rebel seer and force a way into the world of the seers from whence they had been banished millennia ago. Old and valued friends have sought Jon out and together they endeavour to combat the unseen yet ever present influence of the maddened seer. Sorrow at the loss of one of their little band weighs heavy on their minds as Ebon reaches out across the void that separates them by means of The Rod of Dread.
