Demir Grappo is an outcast—he fled a life of wealth and power, abandoning his responsibilities as a general, a governor, and a son. But when his mother is brutally murdered, Demir must return from exile to claim his seat at the head of the family and uncover the truth that got her killed: the very power that keeps civilization turning, godglass, is running out.

Those like Demir who can harness the power of godglass proudly tattoo their left hands with glassdancer sigils. This is the sigil for Witglass, godglass that enhances mental abilities. Use it wisely.
