Ink and Feathers Wings of Living Flame

A caged firebird...I'm bound to the sorcerer who gave me this nightly curse, forced to obey his every demand. So when he sends me to steal a magical golden apple from the king's orchard, I must go. My fire can't protect me from the man who guards the tree, a beautiful hunter with a rage at the world that burns hotter than my flames. Can he free me from my golden cage? Or will we burn together?A Piper without a song...In one fell swoop, I lost my father, my magic, and my home. Now my people's only hope for refuge lies in the fate of a golden apple. If I find the thief who stole it, the king will grant my people refuge. If I fail, he will destroy us. But the thief isn't what I expected, and she needs help. I can save us all-but first we have to survive those who want us dead.
