Summary: In a kingdom of fireshapers, young prince Jared stands on the cusp of coming into his powers. At fourteen he watches helplessly as his father King Jothbert suddenly sickens and, after a long illness, dies. Omundson, ruler of a neighboring kingdom, is appointed Regent. He sends Jared away on the pretext of boarding school. But, instead of school, he imprisons Jared in a remote and desolate castle until a timely ‘accident’ can be arranged so that Omundson can take over the kingdom completely.
This is the story of Jared’s fight for freedom in the dead of winter, and his battle to regain his kingdom from the evil Omundson--with a little help from a raven.

Once upon a time a young prince named Jared lived in the Kingdom of Padalonia. It was a magical kingdom, not just because it was a happy place or that its people were happy, or that they could perform love spells or make it rain, or find a lost child. No, those gifts were common to all the Nine Kingdoms. The people of Padalonia were particularly special because they could shape fire.
