When a fire destroys their home, family, and their people’s history, all hope seems lost for Penny and Mesa. But thanks to Penny’s unique connection to Florist magic, she’s able to salvage the historic knowledge. Now they’re left with the dangerous task of finding a safe place to hide said knowledge.

They’re offered a helping hand from Nadia and Noel, twins who are hiding their identities and their father’s vendetta that led to the arson of Penny and Mesa’s home. Their journey will test Nadia and Noel like nothing before and reveal powers that could upset not just their father’s plan, but everything their world has been built upon.

The twins take Penny and Mesa to the Fauna tribes, where they meet Toad and Manidae, who are competing for the hand of Princess Andrena. For Toad, this means securing the political and financial ties to save his tribe from destitute. For Manidae, it means his family’s acceptance. For Andrena it means doing her duty to unite all people who practice Fauna magic under the protective hand of an emperor.

Amidst the competition new friendships are forged and enemies reveal themselves. Will Penny be able to protect her knowledge? Will Andrena choose the right groom? Will Noel unlock the secrets to her strange new powers? Or will these secrets also go up in flames as they’re threatened to be exposed?
