The Fire Opal

Book 4 in the Lost Continent

Deep in the sun-drenched desert, the priestess Ginger-Sun carries the power of shape mages. But whispers abound: Is she descended from the beloved Sunset Goddess, or does she fill her moonlit rituals with wickedness? Ginger herself is uncertain, until a stranger is left for dead at her feet.

Thence her magic begins to burn.

Fate makes Ginger the stranger’s wife and therefore a target for those who would murder this man for reasons she doesn’t understand. If they succeed in taking her from him, they will force her magic into twisted ferocity. Unless Ginger masters her dark powers, violence will rein in the country of Taka Mal—and in her soul.
