But her new apprentice, Casimir, sparks strong feelings and turns her world on its head. Casimir Hossa is thrilled when his Aunt Magda negotiates an apprenticeship with the powerful caster, Nina Olesky. But can he keep his dark past hidden from Nina's sharp instincts long enough for her to get to know him? And help him understand himself? As Nina and Casimir continue their business ventures in the Outskirts and face threats from the most unexpected places, they may just realize the only way to move forward is together.
