Magic has faded out of everyday life. Only in the darkest corners of the world, or the richest coffers, does the power of magic endure. Everyone says it’s for the best. When rogue magic lashes out, though, there’s only one place the afflicted can go to solve their problems—the Marvel. Whoever is chosen to enter the Marvel has to endure a test unlike any other—a test that most people fail, leaving their hopes and their bones behind to feed the wild magic of the place. When two people are chosen, soul-bound, to endure the test simultaneously…well, either the gods have a sense of humor or the magic is angling for a feast. Can two such different men, with such wildly different magical problems, survive the tests if they work together? Or will the magic feed on two souls instead of one?
