A magical accident threw them together. But when Fate holds all the cards, it can be impossible to tell the difference between pure chance and Destiny...

Allorna thought being a hereditary guardian meant an automatic posting with the royal family. Instead, she's assigned to Petty Larceny--which has its moments, especially when she engineers a jailbreak and finds herself on the run from her colleagues.

With healer trainee Sidimo in tow, she sets out to save Maride, a young mage unjustly accused of murder. But now she has to clear her name as well. Easier said than done, especially when they accidentally enroll at the Red Madrassa, a legendary school of magic.

Alongside Vedaris, a sarcastic dragon-boy, and Sitara, a storm-caller, they soon find themselves hooked on their studies. The road they've stumbled upon is a challenging one, and now each must decide whether the Madrassa is where they truly belong...

Red Madrassa is a epic, adventurous coming of age story that will enchant those who enjoyed the fantasy worlds of Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic, Mercedes Lackey's Heralds of Valdemar, or the wonderfully crafted landscape of Cinda William Chima's Seven Realms series.
