Raven is an apprentice archmage of a very powerful wizard. The young man has just lost his master, then finds out he has inherited a town, a career and a very odd blue woman named Mink.
The town does not like Mink, who has difficulty speaking, so the two are exiled and head out on a search to find Mink's true family. With the help of a cranky druid named Arren, they journey to the frozen mountains to find answers to Mink's unusual heritage.

This medieval fantasy introduces Raven, a young man with very little talent for magic, but a strong will to do the right thing. As their feelings for each other grow, Raven is determined to see that Mink is safe. They both grow up together along the way.

Author Yakiri was raised in Israel, moved to Dallas and now lives in the Mojave Desert town of Ridgecrest, California. She wrote this book five years ago, but then suffered a massive stroke. After recovery, her aim was to publish this story. "Mink is quite honestly based on me, my own difficulties communicating with people, my own temper, my loves and wants, and her isolation with being different draws directly on my own isolation." Yakiri has written three other books and wants to go back to school to study genetics.
