The seventh novel of the “Mother for Sovenok” series is a story about the cost of a gift, interference of higher powers, and coming of age that begins with loss.
Olga—the daughter of a tamer of the elements and a woman from another world—disappears due to an accidental space breach. The elements, which have observed her for many years and nurtured a rare, dangerous potential in her, make decisions for people: break the bond with family and the world to save the girl from death. That’s how Olya ends up in Fattar— a world of archmagi, witches, and strict laws of magical control—deprived of memory, the past, and protection. Here her fate falls into other hands—by no means kind ones. A new life begins with lies, fear, and attempts to survive in a world where elemental power is not a blessing but a sentence. Even deprived of memories, Olya remains an element-tamer. And the elements never forget their chosen ones. While her father desperately searches for his missing daughter, defying archmagi, realms, and even the elements themselves, Olya must understand who she truly is and make a choice: submit to the fate imposed on her, or reclaim her right to be herself.
