Magic is illegal. She cannot stop using it. Fire speaks to Nonay. She hears music in the silence, feels magic in the song. But magic is forbidden. The citizens of Mountain Home have outlawed magic that almost destroyed the realms and their people. They believe those who hear music are not right in the head. Legends say two creatures of magic, the Lee-Aths, survived but are hidden and dormant. Nonay hears the music and like a siren’s song, she is lured in with promises of astounding power that can right a terrible past wrong. But if she uses magic, she risks losing those she loves. She must decide: deny the temptation and live among her people or embrace her rare ability to summon Fire and be banished.
