Novice earth-mage Hob Dikaio lives a life of simple joys. Born into exile, tending the family orchard is all he's ever known or desired.But now a powerful mage from a rival house appears. Ripped from his home, Hob must choose between two paths. His father would have him flee northward to safety, but an elemental girl urges otherwise. With her by his side he will travel south to the great mage city of Lavaro. Old intrigues of ancient families await, and bound up within these an evil, a malevolence of fire and hunger that would devour every living soul. To save the kingdom, and reclaim his home, Hob will face them all.
