Magic is currency in Sabine Fable's world. After an epidemic of mage fever stole it from her family, Sabine came into the world a baseborn without position or hope. She struggles through life with a frail mother and a drunken, abusive grandfather.
Sabine's stubbornness and her skills in herbalism carve out a tenuous niche for her family in a society where mageborns rule. She cares for her mother, Brona Fable, who still suffers from the aftereffects of the disease as an outcast in a small town. For Sabine's devotion and ignoble birth, she has been teased, abused, and ridiculed for most of her young life.
