On passe un excellent moment captivante et addictif en compagnie de Kaloo et Dashif.

La plupart des gens ne peuvent utiliser ce pouvoir, seuls les sorciers ont appris à le manipuler, souvent à leur propre profit. Kaloo, une jeune orpheline, sent qu’elle pourrait apprivoiser et développer sa « chance », mais comment faire alors qu’elle ignore sa date de naissance ? Taraudée par cette question, elle consulte un mage pour tenter de lever le voile sur ses origines.
