On one side is a naïve, sheltered 12-year-old girl. On the other, a revenge-seeking sorcerer. One knows nothing of the world or the hidden power she carries. The other has thousands of years of magic and a ruthlessness that knows no bounds.

With the help of a shape-shifting raven, a woodsman, a wizardess, and her feisty cat, Oelsa will travel across Idelisia, her courage tested at every turn. Anvyartach, the Shadow Lord, will stop at nothing to steal Oelsa’s secret Key. When the FireIce, a weapon that craves raw emotions, takes on a life of its own, only the Key’s primeval magic will stop it.
