Pehgah ou P'anak, the city of magic and home of the witches, sits alone amid the endless dunes of the Tihr. For decades, its people have hunkered behind the enormous protective walls and magical wards that surround the city, fearful of the dangers that lurk in the desert beyond. They have grown rich by controlling the magical portals that connect the three realms.
A young witch, Asha, has arrived at Pehgah, excited to join the academy and take her place in the all-powerful sisterhood of the Crimson Order. But a chance encounter with one of the terrors of the desert, a djinn, sets her on a path that will make her question not only the role of the witches but also the very thing at the core of her identity - magic itself.No AI was used in the creation, writing, formatting or editing of any aspect of this book.
