Jaxon Copper awoke one morning with a startling preview of an event that would change his life. He was planning to be a simple potter's apprentice and making his way in life with a trade that would have made him safe and comfortable. Instead, through a change he could never have foreseen, he was catapulted into a world of power and intrigue. A world of danger and of learning about things he never thought existed. Jax was about to become something never seen before, even by the powerful group of Benders, a group whose influence and manipulation of the world was mostly uttered as tales to frighten children or an excuse for describing the magic of evil wizards. Jaxon Copper would someday be one of the most influential people ever-if he survived.
