Elaine has been field promoted to a full Ranger. But what does that mean? For her mentor Artemis, it means Elaine needs to be trained up. For her leader Julius, it means a source of easy healing while in the field. For the rest of the team, it means a new member. But what does it mean for Elaine? Freedom. Friendship. Protection. Protection from the dinosaurs who roam the planet, looking for tasty pint-sized snacks. Protection from Kerberos, her fiance who'll stop at nothing to get her back. Protection from a society who'd love nothing more than to grind her down. Armed with new Celestial healing, and Fire magic, Elaine needs to rapidly improve herself before one of her threats materializes. Even then, not all is safe. Perinthus is devastated by a deadly plague, dropping people by the hundreds. Elaine must save as many lives as possible, and try to get to the bottom of things before she falls victim as well. Will Elaine get over the horror of burning living things alive as she defends herself with her fire magic? Will she be able to break out of Kerberos's grasp? And will she be able to find some bloody mangos?!
