In the aftermath of a harrowing tragedy that robbed her of her husband and daughter, Abby finds herself clinging to her role as the sole guardian of her eight-year-old son, Adrian. Bound by grief and driven by the fact the magic implant keeping her alive is failing, this brilliant magic scientist is consumed by a singular purpose: to build the most powerful magic object to secure a safe future for Adrian long after she's gone.

But magic is unsafe and unpredictable, and the object she's trying to create is no different. She turns to her colleague, Nolan Benson, for help, only to stumble upon a revelation that alters everything. She catches him speaking of a world where magic is far more advanced than her own, and he's convinced Adrian is the key to unlocking a new formidable power. With her son's life at risk, the stakes have never been higher for Abby to finish the mission she set out to complete. She'll do whatever it takes to protect her son, even if it means sacrificing the remainder of her life to do it.
