A stand-alone epic fantasy set in the Brightmoon world…
Fen is used to hiding away in her coastal town, keeping her past and her magic far from prying eyes. But the aftermath of the brief war with Bennamore pits her against a different kind of magic, and throws her quiet life into turmoil, threatening to expose all her secrets.
Mal’s job as guard to the mages of Bennamore has always been a bit dull, but that was before they were sent to bring magic to the resentful coastal folk. Before he knows it, he finds himself in the middle of riots, disappearances and thievery. And then there’s the infuriatingly snooty Fen, a woman he’d love to tame.
The two will have to overcome their mutual dislike and join forces to untangle the dragon’s nest of deceit around them, or else their  countries will be plunged back into disastrous war.
