Omschrijving

Life's a funny thing. One day everything's great, and the next it all goes wrong. Really blazing wrong.

At least, that's how it went for Kara and Riptha.

Kara will freely admit she had a pretty good life. She has a father who loves her, a promising career as a glassblower, and an island full of friends and people she can trust. The closest of those friends is Riptha — the duke's son. Their gap in social status caused complications in the past, but they've been best friends since childhood and their friendship will surely last to the end.

Riptha grew up with every privilege of nobility, a people who respect him and two parents who love him. Although his role as Morain's future duke comes with a lot of responsibility — and, thus, sacrifice — he embraces his duty to the best of his ability. It helps that Kara is always there to lift his spirits through the more burdensome expectations. And even though war and wicked magic plague the mainland of Faldon, life on Morain is peaceful. And, no, life is never free of complications, but with loved ones by your side, there's nothing you can't handle. All you have to do is keep going no matter what.

Which seems simple enough until the war reaches its wicked talons into their lives and everything falls apart. Riptha's responsibility to his people threatens to take away that which he cares for most. And Kara finds a gem in her fire which thrusts upon her a magic she never wanted and a calling she can't ignore. The only way to save everything they hold dear is to leave their home and join a grumpy pirate on a quest to bring peace to Faldon.

Kara and Riptha fall into a constant battle for their lives and head for a confrontation that will determine the fate of their entire world. But at least they still have each other...as long as they can keep the shadows of their past from tearing them apart.

And avoid dying. They definitely need to avoid that.
