A gifted, proud young wizard casts a rash spell at his island school and tears a hole in the world, releasing a shadow creature that hunts him across the archipelago. He finally turns to face it, and masters it by giving it his own name.

The island of Gont, a single mountain that lifts its peak a mile above the storm-racked Northeast Sea, is a land famous for wizards.
