Lesson of the Fire

Sven Takraf has burned a path through rival wizards to seize power over Marrishland, power he means to wield like a torch to bring sweeping reforms to its stifling magocracy. But fire can immolate as well as illuminate, destroy civilization as well as bring it, and Sven is burning out of control. The Takraf War disturbs another enemy whose massed force will sweep down to snuff out Marrishland.
