Ashes of the Lycenium

Tomas Birke is a seventeen-year-old pyromancer with more fire than discipline—and after burning down a dormitory wing, he's placed under the tutelage of Magister Lysera Crane, the Lycenium's most beloved teacher. But when students begin falling mysteriously ill and the ancient tower-city trembles at its foundations, Tomas uncovers a terrible truth: the woman who taught him that fire is transformation may be planning the ultimate transformation of her own—at a cost no one should pay.
