An action packed page turner full of suspense, intrigue, magic and dragons Everything is going wrong for Ashleigh. Despite years of training at the Mage Academy, she can't perform a practical spell without setting something on fire, and the only person who still believes in her is murdered before her eyes. There's a plague in the crops to the East, and red dragons invading from the West. The blue dragons, protectors of the Empire, have vanished. The young Empress has had her official powers shackled by the Mage Council and now she's asking Ashleigh to go on a dangerous mission in her stead. Ashleigh is tired, hungry, she smells like onions, she's been forced to hide in the sewers, she's being chased by a killer, someone set the Ice River on fire and her only company is a thief, a runner for the Rivichi crime family and a mysterious dwarf. She has no money and no magic. How will she complete the task the Empress set out for her and help save the Empire?
