THE MAGNET
OF MARJON

In a fractured world shaped by magnetic catastrophe, a boy from the Barrens may carry all five abilities and thus be capable of changing everything.

“The storm was never the danger.
It was the warning.”

Book One

The Magnet of Marjon

Five Tribes. Five Powers. Every Zetash Tribe member carries one ability. Kull Kalijan, alone, carries two making him the most feared man alive.

Legends speak of a rarer force still — a Quint capable of wielding all five.

Gideon Irondell was never supposed to exist.

Raised in the broken wastelands of the Barrens, Gideon survives by stealing, running, and listening carefully enough to stay alive. But when ancient powers awaken within him, he becomes the center of a conflict stretching from the fractured Fault Lines to the towers of Karthune itself.
