Heart of Fire, Book 1

Phenomenal power. Cursed for his father’s sins.

Manipulated by outside forces, stalked by murderous foes and monsters, Marshal and Seri each must learn how to use their unique abilities before it’s too late. Dark powers from another realm are watching them. Watching and planning…
