RAISED BY THE NATION'S GREATEST GENERAL AND A FAMOUS DUELLIST, SYLINE HAS NO TIME FOR THE NOBLE NICETIES OF HER PRIVILEGED LIFE. .

. Hailing from a family of soldiers and warriors, Syline couldn't be more different from her kin.

She's never cared for the blade, even if forced to train with it day in, day out. Syline's passion is for magic and adventure, with dreams of one day becoming a renowned mage.

Yet when her curiosity puts her square in the path of a monstrous mage far more powerful than she can match, Syline is left wishing for the days of duels and dance practice. Forced to flee the city she's lived in her entire life, Syline must survive the harsh winter of her homeland and the hunters pursuing her across it.

When the terrifying truth of the mage's plans become clear, and the threat looms over her family, Syline must return home and face the threat head on; for her freedom, for her family and for her nation. .

. "An exciting and enthralling new work from a passionate author who injects the story with pace and adventure to excite lovers of the genre.
