Summary

Drey is descended from a long line of female mages, but she herself only commands SMALL MAGICK. Her aunt and grandmother have sent her off by herself to unlock the power they know lies within her. Frustrated with her inability to perform even the basics of magick, Drey finds solace outdoors, playing her pipes while the breeze tangles her hair and tugs at her skirt. She explores the mountain that looms above her cottage and finds an isolated meadow that long ago served a mage as a natural circle. With joy at her discovery surging through her, she casts the circle and raises power for the first time in her life. She also conjures a wind spirit and binds him to mortal form.

Cyrus believes she has called him to pleasure her and applies himself diligently to the task. Their mutual delight dissipates when they realize she has no idea how she called and bound him. Only the mage who bound him can release him. How can she reverse what she did unwittingly? While she works to devise a ritual that will return him to his world, Drey helps Cyrus explore the physical world while he shows her glimpses of his realm. To her dismay, she finds herself falling in love with him. That revelation makes her desperate to send him back to the skies. Desperate enough to apprentice herself to a powerful mage with an agenda of his own. Desperate enough to promise him anything in exchange for the knowledge she needs to free Cyrus.
