The Watermight Thief (The Fire Queen's Apprentice)

Tamri is a scrappy magic thief in the brutal canal city of Pendark, where sorcerers feud over a powerful liquid magic known as Watermight. She just wants to steal enough Watermight to take care of her grandmother and escape the city one day.

But when a big score involving a dragon goes wrong, the king of Pendark ships Tamri off to a distant mountaintop kingdom, where the legendary Fire Queen is starting a school for magic wielders.

The king suspects the Fire Queen is plotting against him, and he orders Tamri to find out the truth. If she fails, her beloved grandmother will pay the price. But Tamri will learn more than she bargained for from the legendary wielder—if she survives the encounter.
