Erzie could be a mage, but instead she's stuck working in nasty Madam Deera's washery.
With each unreasonable demand and punishment, Erzie dreams up ways to get out of the washery and into the mage school.
But without the money she brings home from the washery, her sister could die.
Will Erzie submit to the rules of magic and money in this story set in the world of Arethia? Or will she subvert them and find a way to free herself from the washery forever?
