If, that is, she can convince the school authorities to let them stay.As Ana and her friends – some new and some old – prepare to investigate Cien’s murder, nefarious forces within the academy, and outside in the wider world conspire against them.

Her friends seem happy, the mischievous Fyrenza is growing, and despite the teasing digs from the usual suspects, academic life seems good.However, when a fellow student – and her bonded dragon – are both killed in an apparent accident, Ana and her friends receive a disturbing tip.

It’s an opportunity to test herself and her phoenix against the experienced dragon riders, and Fyrenza can hardly contain her excitement.When Fyrenza is injured in an exercise, however, Ana is left without one more line of defence, and crucially, the only thing keeping her in high regard at the academy.Meanwhile, Ginger’s unpredictable powers are undiminished. She’s capable of untold power, and undoubtedly will be wanted dead or alive for it. Ana knows they have to treat her carefully, and protect her at all costs.As the malevolent Dove and her fawning friends pursue and bully Ana and Ginger, unforeseen consequences befall her, and Ana is forced to both treat Dove’s wounds, and become her unlikely captor until she promises never to tell of Ginger’s remarkable but dangerous powers.With Professor Ionadi still hiding in the shadows, waiting to strike, how long can Ana keep everyone she holds dear safe? less

“Whatever it takes, I’ll find Fyrenza again.”After spending all of her time hitchhiking, stowing away, and scouring the region for any trace of her bonded phoenix, Ana is exhausted. With the school year soon drawing to a close, she has a lot on her mind, and rescuing Fyrenza surely has to come first.But when a fire in Ionadi’s old office sparks an investigation, Ana seems to be on the hook for it, and before long both she and Pepin are the prime suspects... more“Whatever it takes, I’ll find Fyrenza again.”After spending all of her time hitchhiking, stowing away, and scouring the region for any trace of her bonded phoenix, Ana is exhausted.

She soon hatches a plan to save her. And her friends won’t see her go it alone… less

“Friends in peril, exams on the horizon, and a phoenix not yet ready to protect me; can I pull through?”For Ana and her friends, rescuing Fyrenza came at great cost: an injury to a Aelred, and Ginger arrested and imprisoned by the anti-magic authorities.

And what’s more, Fyrenza will take time to recover since her rebirth, leaving Ana especially vulnerable in the meantime.That’d be enough to contend with, without the dread-inspiring prospect of exams around the corner, and if Ana fails, she’ll be out of the academy for good! Never in Ana’s life have things felt lower, or more desperate.However, having learned some revelatory facts about her late mother, Ana decides on a trip home – slipping away from the protection of the academy - to see her father once again, and perhaps uncover some home truths…Can Ana free Ginger, unite quarreling friends, unearth the secrets of her heritage, and escape the clutches of The Knowing? less

With a single ritual, they’re sure they can locate her, and free her from Malakyr’s malevolent grasp. But after that? The fight must surely go on…Events at the academy quickly begin to spin out of control. Headmaster Whitlock is forced to step down, and a mysterious new headmistress is announced in his place. And things take a turn for the worse when Dove’s past is exposed – and she believes Ana to be the one responsible! Another powerful, vengeful enemy kicked out of the academy, and swearing revenge? Just what Ana needs…Fyrenza meanwhile, is troubled by visions and ancestral memories. Taking a trip up the mountains to investigate seems far from the kind of educational excursion the academy has in mind, and it tests them both in arduous new ways. As they climb higher, Fyrenza gets closer to revealing the secrets of her birth, as well as unleashing new enemies. Can they survive the ascent? less

“The rescue was straightforward, but now the real struggle begins.”After meticulous planning, Ana and her friends finally set about freeing Ginger from the clutches of their enemies.
