Description

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

Really blazing wrong.

Kara and Riptha are best friends who are content with their peaceful, quiet lives. All they really want is to be together, and that's complicated enough with other people's expectations and rumors always following them around.

But when the wicked talons of war and magic reach into their lives, everything falls apart. Riptha's responsibility to his people threatens to take away that which he cares for most. And Kara finds a gem 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.
