"A son will be born forever hunted, forever bound" An island created by Death, alive with magic and filled with creatures and beings trapped in an eternal clash, will welcome a new son who has been sheltered and hidden from the world he is destined to be a part of. William Phoenix will arrive at the Orphealii Academy of Magic and begin to uncover all that has been hidden from him. He will soon discover that his friends' lives-and the fate of all those on the island-depend on his survival. When his friend, Penelope Elderson, learns of the prophecy that marks him as a target, she will have to decide how best to protect him-to leave him in the dark or to warn him of all that is coming before he is ready. Marked by violet eyes and with blood on his hands, William will fight the prophecy he has been cursed with. Those who seek to spill his blood will hunt him, only needing the whisper of a chance to get to him. This is the first book in the Phoenix Series.
