They said her magic would destroy. He believes it could save them all—if it doesn’t tear them apart first.
Zyla had a mission: save the mad melder. Before or after she plants Grand Lynkyn seeds? Before or after she finds Seguin and Madras? Before or after she knows if a kiss was the first and last, or one of many to come?
Trust or don't trust her mentor?
All while Seguin is off searching for his lost sister and running into danger Zyla isn't there to help battle.
She may be a strong melder and an unsurpassed caster, but nothing prepared her for the challenges her heart was facing.
Zyla Powerbane & Seguin Duon.
Madras Raeven: foster sister to Seguin. Independent, open-hearted, and takes no guff from Seguin. Self-trained melder with surprising additional skills.
Thaddeus: once imprisoned in the basement of Wisery Towers. Suspicious and easily driven into panicked states of confusion.
Dragons & Grand Lynkyns
The world of Rigaria contains the non-magical, magic casters, and magic melders. It is ruled by a class of casters. Rigaria has been losing magic over the years and has reached a point of destabilization. Some believe this could have been prevented; even more hold the melders responsible.
When a melder child is identified, the child's magic is bound as it is believed melders go mad and burn anything and anyone close to them.
Are melders as lethal as the Caster Council asserts? Do Lynkyn Forests only exist in fairytale imaginings? Can melders create dragons out of thin air? Who will defy the status quo?

Some truths are better said repeatedly, so the lie buried inside can leak out.
Melders go mad. They are best killed or their magic bound to stem the madness.
Say it again. Melders go mad, so kill them or bind their magic and stem the madness.
One more time. Melders, when mad, can kill, so bind them in madness before they learn to use their magic.
How long should Zyla Powerbane wait to go mad?
In the meantime, there is plenty to do.
Reestablish the Lynkyn forest one precious seed at a time.
Steal the mad melder imprisoned beneath the Towers.
Find her friends among the whispering trees.
If she was an outcast before, now she is a criminal.
If she was rejected before, now she has nowhere to turn.
If she had been weak and uncertain, now she is determined to drive herself through all obstacles, even if the cost for success destroys her.
