One moment can change everything.
A letter. A death. A chance meeting. A funeral. Paths are rarely so straightforward in life, but each choice, each action, each impression has great potential. Newly-trained Pyrelight Andella Weaver discovers this as she makes her way to the great city of Zondrell, ready to attend to the funerary rites of one of its most important men. Yet, it is not the passing of Lord Vestarton that makes its greatest impression upon her, but the presence of his heir. What she learns from young Alexander may just send her life down a path she never could have imagined.
