Two characters are in different sort of situations but both of them are concerned about their future. Because of others the future of Koren and Ariana is at stake and they want to secure it at any rate. Koren was a wizard by birth but this thing was kept hidden from him because of certain reasons. On several occasions, he was able to feel something strange in his mind and body but the wizards around him didn’t allow him to excel in his powers. Now the evil has surrounded the world and there is nothing Koren can do about it.
Ariana fears that at the time when she would be crowned there would be no land left for her to rule. Author of Breakaway and Columbus Day i.e Craig Alanson always takes time to launch real action in the story and most of the time the stories are not related to the world of magic.
This book which is narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds has an action that starts from the initial lines and magic is infused in the novel to the core. It is chiefly about magic and the world of wizards of which Koren is a major part but somehow he is kicked out of it.
