The three kingdoms of Yvaelen are suffering a crisis of faith. After a thousand years of prosperity and effortless magic by the grace of Vael, the witch-god who sacrificed a paradise so that Her people could reign supreme, the land is plunged into chaos when magic abruptly stops working and prayers to Vael go unanswered. In Spellfall's wake, a young king, an urchin in disguise, and a disgrace of a knight must rescue Yvaelen, and themselves, from betrayal and monstrous ambition.
