Book 5 in the Tales of the Order series.

When Gawain O'Malley lost his right hand in the tragic fire that destroyed all his artwork and claimed lives, he also lost the will to live. He feels wholly responsible for the fire and can no longer generate an income for the Shire though his work. Concerned for Gawain's well-being — and the future of her people — the Sorceress of the Order enlists a group of Brownies to come to his aid.

When Wren arrives at the Shire, she immediately realizes Gawain is her true love — despite her betrothal to someone else. And when they're together, Gawain feels a deep sense of peace that helps ease his guilt.

But as the two are about to discover, the fire was not Gawain's fault at all…but the work of an evil outside force.
