Winds of Courage
Book 1 of the A Mage's Apprentice series
Delphine possesses far more magic than anyone expects from a farmer’s daughter, but she wants nothing to do with the proud Mage’s Guild. That changes when a friend is abducted and she discovers that using her power effectively will require apprenticing herself to the traveling master Amara. Delphine’s healing gift wins her a wild fox companion named Ember, but it also attracts the attention of the dangerous man behind the kidnapping and of Nik, the mysterious mage hunting him. To save her friend, Delphine must overcome the secret threatening her apprenticeship and learn whether trusting Nik will make her stronger or more vulnerable.
