A single spark begets an inferno. After stealing an ultra-rare Faction Seal, Abby and Otto find themselves on the run from Osmark and his lackeys. Abby has bigger worries than the price on her head, however.

The enterprising young sorceress will have to stoke the embers of rebellion to complete her quest, or see all her hopes go up in flames in this next installment ...
