Publisher's Synopsis
Imperial life is quite the culture shock when coming from a backwater farming community, but when Pirogoeth's magical talents catch the attention of one of the world's most powerful mages, she is sent off to the city and keep in Kartage to refine her talents. Under the tutelage of Socrato, Pirogoeth goes from village outcast to promising apprentice within one of the most advanced cities on the continent. Making friends, learning and shaping new powers, discovering a wider world, Pirogoeth's life becomes a flurry of activity... almost enough to make her forget about the dread shadows off in the distance.
