Null
His entire life Ahvram Goldfinch has tried to prove he’s useful, but in the Syndicate family of The Shimmering City that’s not easy to do. It doesn’t help that Ahvram is a null, a mage with a venomous aura that steals magic from whatever he touches. Making it as a pickpocket has proved to be impossible, and recently just walking the streets of the City is a danger, seeing as the new Child Queen has changed every rule since the Revolution. There is no way a powerful Wildlander mage like the Queen would tolerate a null mage like Ahvram. For his and the Syndicate’s safety, Ahvram is left to either play guard at the Old Battlements or, on special occasions, go as extra insurance for collections missions with his brother, Dominic.
When the opportunity comes for him to prove himself, Ahvram is quick to jump to the task. It was supposed to be a simple mission: intimidate a PeaceKeeper for a smuggler. But when the deal goes wrong, he finds himself captured by the PeaceKeepers and handed over to the vicious Child Queen. However, after meeting her he finds that his world is not exactly what he’s been led to believe.
