Seven oclock on a Monday morning, five hundred years after the end of the world, and goblins had been at the cellar again. . . . Not that anyone would admit it was goblins. In Maddy Smiths world, order rules. Chaos, old gods, fairies, goblins, magic, glamoursall of these were supposedly vanquished centuries ago. But Maddy knows that a small bit of magic has survived. The ruinmark she was born with on her palm proves itand makes the other villagers fearful that she is a witch (though helpful in dealing with the goblinsinthecellar problem). But the mysterious traveler OneEye sees Maddys mark not as a defect, but as a destiny. And Maddy will need every scrap of forbidden magic OneEye can teach her if she is to survive that destiny.
