Wanting to puzzle out the mysteries of her past, an orphaned elf embarks on a quest for answers—a journey made all the more dangerous by the harsh world around her
Mirrodin is a world beyond imagination. Forests of metal claw the sky. Razor-sharp metallic grasses stretch across the plains. Vast oceans of quicksilver conceal predators awaiting the unwary.
In the metal jungle of the Tangle lives an orphaned elf named Glissa. A reverse amnesiac, she is plagued by strange, indecipherable visions—an affliction she shares with her fellow elves, who have dubbed the phenomenon “Flares.” Accompanied only by these glimpses of a foreign elf's life, Glissa sets out across the harsh landscape, seeking the secrets of her past and daring the perils of her present. And she must tear aside the veil that hides the face of a hidden enemy whose power extends across all Mirrodin.
