An unjust imprisonment. A rogue apprentice. One epic jailbreak.
In the year since she cast her sunbolt, Hitomi has recovered only a handful of memories. But the truths of the past have a tendency to come calling, and an isolated mountain fastness can offer only so much shelter. When the High Council of Mages summons Brigit Stormwind to stand trial for treason, Hitomi knows her wrongfully accused mentor won’t return—not with Arch Mage Blackflame behind the charges.
Armed only with her magic and her wits, Hitomi vows to free her mentor from captivity. She must traverse spell-cursed lands and barren deserts, facing powerful ancient enchantments and navigating bitter enmities, in order to reunite with old friends and plan a rescue equal parts magic and trickery.
