"Leave singing to the Hag to Fifth Ranks, lad, if you don’t want to end up a witless madman shrieking to the storm from a cell in the Tower of Winds." Good advice, all in all. Sheshan ak'Kal lives to regret that he did not heed it. Desperate to remember the windsong that once let him sing even the great storms off the sea to tatters, he forgets for one foolish moment of shared rage that Wind's gentle sister is the angry, vengeful—and quite insane—Hag. With the Hag stalking him across Metrenna, singing a wild, terrible note that only he can hear, Sheshan discovers that weaving torrents of living air between his hands is no longer enough to keep her at bay. For his clan, his life, and a fragile new love he has found with the most unexpected of women, Sheshan must learn a new song, and become what none of his people have managed in millennia—a Windrider indeed.

Nes Riverborn of the Water Clans has her people's inborn magic in huge measure—but her Da refuses to train her and all of her instinctive control over tricksy, elemental Water comes down to stubbornness and good luck. So when the River Melth in fury flings a devastating flash flood at the town of Southbridge, Nes finds herself not only separated from her ship, but swept away on a quest to discover the source of the river's distress. For an untrained young woman who has scarcely set foot ashore in her life, traveling with an exotic company of talented strangers is less a source of wonder than of daily embarrassment as she runs up hard against all the things she doesn't know. Alternately humiliated, angry, frightened, over-confident, and confused by her feelings for a man not of her clan, Nes struggles to bring her talent to bear on a mystery that could overwhelm her whole world. If Water herself has chosen to join her rebellious siblings Wind and Fire in attacking Earth Mother...where in Metrenna will there be anywhere left for mortals to stand?

Into the heart of Fire.
