To join their ranks, she must complete an apprenticeship with Maxantarius Farlione, a handsome and reclusive fire wielder. . . But her growing feelings for him are becoming even more of a threat than the potential conflict on the horizon. Maxantarius has a bloody past he wants to forget, but in it may be the key to Tisaanah's future. Determined to return to the homeland she was forced to abandon and save those she left behind, Tisaanah is willing to risk everything in the Orders' deadly games.
