Cold Fire
Daja and Frostpine expect to have a peaceful winter's visit with old friends in Kugisko, a port in the vast empire of Namon. But there is no peace when mysterious fires begin to blaze across the vulnerable city. Daja assists Bennat Ladradun, a local firefighter with a tragic past, to fight the flames. The two become fast friends - until they realise the fires have been deliberately set, and their relationship is put to the test. Daja's magic helps her track down the firestarter, but no magic can protect her or Ben from the effects of madness and betrayal.

They believe they're still too young to teach but the decision is not up to them. Each of the four finds someone with magic, and according to the rules they must become the teacher until a more suitable one can be found. Each of the four also encounters a series of crimes they feel obligated to stop, and they must balance their teaching responsibilities with aiding the law.
