Daja, the third member of the Circle of Magic, was born into the Trader culture; nomadic merchants who live according to their own rules and customs. At the beginning of the series, ten-year-old Daja was the only survivor of a shipwreck which killed her entire family. Because of this, the Traders labeled her trangshi -- bad luck -- and exiled her from their culture. Because of her magic with fire and metal, Daja was brought to Winding Circle Temple, where she made new friends and began a new life.
But now, because of her magic and the magic of her friends, Daja has accidentally created a tree made of metal, which grows as if it were alive. The Traders want it badly enough to do business even with an outcast. This, and the wildfires that are threatening the kingdom, may give Daja the chance she longs for to earn her place as a Trader again. But only if she is willing to leave behind her new friends.
