The Red Mage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781484951705)

Nineteen year-old Evie Moon wears red ribbons, and everyone in Verenth knows their meaning.

Leaves are inherently magical, and even those who cannot wield magic themselves can see its light in others. But if Evie does have that light, how can she learn to use it? The magi of Verenth have long neglected their sworn oath to seek out magical potential, limiting their teaching to the rich and high-born alone. Evie is determined to change her life, and the lives of Verenth's forgotten citizens. With no one to show her the way, how much can she do before the wrath of the magi falls upon her? * * * Tales of Vertiga is a series of unique stories from a world of magi and sailors, Leaves and dragons.
