After hiding for six years, Brodia had grown into a grand wizard and mother of a precocious daughter. When the enemy discovered her secret haven, they stole her daughter, forcing her to come out. 

What she finds is daunting, for the enemy hasn’t been idle. She now faces an Academy of Wizards, determined to burn alive any woman with magical talents.

Brodia’s Zenii, Preem the Bone Crusher, picked Brodia as his apprentice because he hoped a woman would find a new way to fight. As the Count secretly closed in, Preem was about to see what she could do when the odds were stacked against them.

Can an unpredictable Brodia rekindle her realm’s hopes?
