Five tribes. Five powers. One thief may be the only boy who can wield them all.
The world did not end. It flipped.
When a magnetic catastrophe reshaped Earth, the powerful hid underground and left the rest of humanity to survive above. Most died. The few who endured became the Zetash—five tribes, each born with one extraordinary ability.
Centuries later, the Uunders have emerged from below only to be driven into the Barrens, a broken wasteland ruled by Kull Kalijan, the most feared man alive. Kull is the only person known to possess not one ability, but two.
Fourteen-year-old Gideon Irondell has a different name in the Barrens.
They call him Sly.
A thief stealing food to keep his neighbors alive.
But when impossible powers begin waking inside him—not one, not two, but five—Gideon becomes the one thing Kull cannot ignore.
A Quint.
A boy born to wield all five abilities.
And if the legends are true, Gideon’s rise may save the world—or end it.
Gideon Irondell and the Magnet of Marjon is book 1 of The Gideon Irondell Trilogy, an epic YA fantasy adventure about hidden powers, fractured worlds, found courage, and a boy who may be the answer to a prophecy older than the world he knows.
