Challenges

Each magical adept possesses a potent preternatural talent. Stunning Tamrissa is Fire, Vallant the sailor, Water, Jovvi the lissome ex-courtesean, Spirit; farmer Lorand, Earth, and blue-blooded Rion, Air. But their fragile union threatens to disintegrate when Jovvi and Tamrissa discover a secret sensuality that would make their Blending supreme. And the dissention within is nothing compared to the perile assailing the enchanted quintet from competing nobles and judges alike, all determined to see the peasant mages perish. For as they vie for the Palase of Fice, the brave but unwary tema rushes headlong into desperarate danger... and unknowable jeopardy.
