brings readers into a world of molten magic, where a magician's power can remain hidden…until challenged by enemy forces.
"I can drain a magician of his powers.

Student glass magician Opal Cowan's newfound ability to steal a magician's powers makes her too powerful. Ordered to house arrest by the Council, Opal dares defy them, traveling to the Moon Clan's lands in search of Ulrick, the man she thinks she loves.

Anyone?” When no one spoke, Dax looked at me. “Opal, you’ve been too quiet. What do you think will be the biggest problem?” “Supply.” “Explain.” “As the uses for the glass...messengers increases, demand will increase. However, the supply is limited.” “Exactly!” Dax shouted. He kept the debate going, but my mind filled with a
