Apprentice stone mage Evvy travels with mages Rosethorn and Myrrhtide to a remote island troubled by magical dead zones. There Evvy's magic uncovers volcanic spirits waiting to erupt. While dealing with the fiery island forces, Evvy makes human connections that help her recover from previous traumas. Pierce's accessible characters, vivid writing, and appealing emotional themes make this a winner.
