Once again, prejudices against the use of chaos magic force Beltur and his companions to flee their refuge in Axalt. The rulers of nearby Montgren have offered them sanctuary and the opportunity to become the Councilors of the run-down and disintegrating town of Haven. Montegren lacks any mages—white or black—making this seem like the perfect opportunity to start again.

Can a firefighter learn to embrace the very thing he has tried to kill his entire career? Mason Magrath is an alpha male, heroic firefighter, and an incredible lover. That was until he falls down an elevator shaft of a burning skyscraper in an attempt to save the life of a child. This is the end for our hero... right? Well, not exactly... Mason is snatched from the afterlife by a god that wants to use him as a pawn in a game of life and death on the world of Lelara. Monstrous fiends roam the planet with a ravenous taste for flesh. Instead of fighting fires, Mason must use his new powers as Fire Mage to build a refuge to protect himself from the monstrous horde. He can't do all this alone, though. Rescuing people comes naturally to him, and when a pair of catgirl sisters needs him, he fights off Hell itself to save them. With the help of Lola and Piper, he'll use all the heat at his disposal as a powerful weapon against the terrifying monsters that reside on Lelara. Fans of "The Walking Dead" and "The Lord of the Rings" will love this action-packed light novel. Like firefighting, it'll get your heart pumping, with plenty of profanity, graphic violence, detailed intimacy, and unconventional relationships. The heat level of this book is hotter than fire!
