With no teacher to guide her, no mentor to discourage her
from the impossible, Mel Dawnfield pushed her magic to its
limits — and surpassed them. Only to find that her powers
aren't enough to halt burgeoning rebellion within her
husband's fledgling realm — or a plot devised to strike at
the very heart of Mel's family.
The lines have been drawn.
Mel's mage strength has become greater than any power ever
known, but dare she forge her spells into weapons to
protect her people, her husband? For her magic might
transform the brutality of war into the birth pangs of a
peaceful empire…unless it proves the death blow to her
world.
