Released from the wisery school where she failed at every lesson, Zyla Powerbane's melder magic is unbound, and she is shoved onto a horse behind the schoolmaster's pet enforcer.

She has questions; he's not sharing answers.

She thought her role as Master Canderbury's untalented ward was lonely and fraught with tribulations. At least she had been warm, fed, and had a safe place to hide.

So far she was hungry, shivering, and far too close to a man capable of her worst nightmares. Even sleep promised destruction on a monumental scale.

Zyla Powerbane: orphan and outcaste under the care of the School Master of Wisery Towers, she has lived years training as a caster, but she cannot cast more than a tiny flame at her fingertips.

Seguin Duon: the mysterious caster who takes his directions from School Master Canderbury of Wisery Towers. When he walks through the corridors, people step aside, giving far more room than the sway of his dark cloak requires.

Dragons: in two sizes.

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?

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.

While Zyla follows her lists of impossible tasks, and Seguin waffles between steady companion and tortured flirt, Thaddeus sweeps. Dragons demand freedom, and Madras is feeling she's the only sane one in the group.

Peace is a broom sweep away.

Madness is much closer.

The Void's destruction looms. Dragons sacrifice themselves. And a new weapon in the hands of the casters twists love into uncertainty. Loyalty into revenge.

The Void is breaking down.

Grand Lynkyns are uniting, but there isn't enough to support all the dragons in the Void.

The schoolmaster of Wisery Towers is on the march with weapons designed to rip power from melders and dragons.

One warrior may be the key. Or one more Grand Lynkyn. Or fewer dragons.

Trapped by twisted Lynkyn magic, Zyla must survive long enough for the key to turn.

Captain Spear: a melder hiding in plain sight, he keeps his identity hidden while hiring himself out as a mercenary soldier.
