When all of the fires in Kenderhome have gone out, the Wizard's Conclave asks Nearra, new to her magic and not yet a wizard, to go on a quest to restore the magic of fire to Krynn.
New to her magic, Nearra has only recently stepped out on the path of becoming a wizard. But before she can even take the Test of High Sorcery, the Wizard's Conclave charges her with solving a mystery. All the fires in Kenderhome and Palanthas have gone out and Nearra must determine who - or what - is to blame for this powerful magic. Will this be the beginning of Nearra's magical career - or the end?
