The Collision of Fire and Ice

Karn allowed the flame in his right hand to sizzle out. He lifted Lilia to her feet, and pulled her hard against him. His strong arms wrapped around her small frame like steel cords. "My name, Lilia of the clan Maekel, daughter of Anwell, is Karn of the clan Elohite, son of Rhymus, descendant of Caladain." He felt every inch of her, and for the first time in months he felt alive, starving for the taste and touch of a woman.

Destined for greatness, by the hands of the Goddess Lorna, Karn Elohite is forced into a life he never wanted.

Karn Elohite never wanted to be a mage, but when the unimaginable happens he is forced to embrace the life he once forfeited. Thrown together by chance and united by a common enemy, Lilia Maekel and Karn Elohite are determined to defeat the treachery her uncle sweeps across the land of Arcadia. Can Karn learn to control the power thrust upon him, and will he ever make it to the Dragon's Keep -- where the hardest challenge he has ever endured awaits him?
