HTML:<b>A mage with coveted magic and the scion of a powerful family are magically bound together in service to the Empire in the first book of a spellbinding fantasy trilogy from David Gemmell Award-nominated author Melissa Caruso.</b><br /> Magic is scarce in the Raverran Empire, and those born with such powers are strictly controlled — taken as children and conscripted into the Falcon army, to be used as weapons in times of war.<br /> Zaira has lived her life on the streets to avoid this fate, hiding her mage mark and thieving to survive. But hers is a rare and dangerous magic, one that threatens the entire Empire.<br /> Lady Amalia Cornaro was never meant to be a Falconer. Heiress and scholar, she was born into a treacherous world of political machinations.<br /> But fate has bound the heir and the mage. And as war looms on the horizon, a single spark could turn their city into a pyre.<br /> <b>Praise for Swords and Fire:</b><br /> "Charming, intelligent, fast-moving, beautifully atmospheric, with a heroine and other characters whom I really liked as people.
