Scale of Dragon, Tooth of Wolf

by Sue Isle

When fourteen-year-old Amber runs away from her loveless family, she is determined to find fame and fortune - but all she discovers is hunger and poverty. Then Amber agrees to become a trainee sorceress with the Aradian order, serving Aradia, Sister of the God, Mistress of Magic, in humble duty and love, at least, that's the theory. For Amber is a rebel and nothing in her life runs smoothly.
