Caught up in a web of violence and deceit, she's torn away from everything and everyone she knows. In order to save herself and those she loves, she'll have to learn to harness the Crimson Fire.

Can she contain the fury of magic? After eight years in the sorcerers' guild, Tabia thought she'd seen it all. That was until the magic of Isskasala overflowed, catching unsuspecting people in its flood. Consumed by the power, some fear what might become of them, while others turn lethal. Tabia must save the sorcerers from what has been unleashed before it’s too late. Return to Isskasala and fight alongside Tabia as she tries to contain a deadly force.
