The line between light and shadow is as thin as the flame I command-and my control over those flames is even thinner.
I ran from my town in the Mortal Realm before they discovered I possessed illegal magic. The Guilds of Chaos are the only ones who can stop me from destroying everything I touch. Destiny is a master of irony, though. As I enter the Skia Guild and join the Bloodwraiths, I discover that coming here places everyone at risk, even myself. From my handsome mentor, Guildmaster Daris Ravencroft-to his sister Elena, who becomes my best friend-I may lose them both by keeping my secrets. And the strange murders that started ever since I arrived at the Guilds make me a suspect! I came to the Guilds to escape my fate, but the noose around my neck is tightening. Only the prophecy in my pocket and my Orphic blood can save me-as long as I learn to control the fires that rage underneath my skin.
