The Dealmaker's Gambit

A century ago, Irora's ancestors bargained with the supernatural zader for power over fire. A year ago, their secret was exposed and her life fell apart. This morning, she's setting out to take her revenge.

Remishi law is absolute: any human who deals with the zader is a traitor. Any boons or favors, tricks or curses-- it's all proof of guilt. Now that the truth is out, her family has been rounded up, either imprisoned or killed for their ancestor's crime-- all except Irora.

Irora has survived as a fugitive for over a year, but simply surviving isn't enough. With no hope for justice, she will find whatever way she can to fight back. Branded a dealmaker for her ancestor's treason, Irora sets out to do the unthinkable: become a dealmaker herself.
