Luca Scordato abandoned her best friend--and now she must pay the price with her life.  Jack de Fiel's lifelong dream of becoming an all-powerful Sorcerer is just within reach-- until he has to deal with the consequences of his friend's betrayal. To pay the price, she must embark on a deadly quest.To achieve his dream, he must join her. A punishment for one. A test for the other. Join Luca and Jack as they embark on a mission to save their captive friend and retrieve two Magical objects, one protected by a cruel Empress, the other guarded by blood-drinking Witches.  They don't expect to succeed, nor do they expect to survive. But what they certainly don't expect is for their fate to change when they meet a resourceful thief from the Empire of the Golden Dragon, Haia Kaneko, who knows a secret that could be the key to the Mages' success.  But the thief has an agenda of her own, one that involves revenge upon the Empress who murdered her parents, and she is not easily persuaded to give up secrets.  *** Welcome, dear readers, to Primera.
