The Sorceress Saga: Book 1
A YOUNG SORCERESS' DARING ESCAPE
In the Realm of Eurotopa, King Crane of Vulturedom uses his secret weapon to conquer the five surrounding kingdoms. One by one innocent lives are annihilated without mercy. Without the blink of an eye. Without remorse to broken promises, family bonds, history, or consequences. It is all about what he believes to be rightfully his, and who will bend to his power.
Now, after six years of victory, only a single kingdom is left standing alongside Vulturedom. The neighboring Haven.
There is just one problem. The secret weapon, King Crane's Sorceress, is missing. Escaped again. This time, however, she has gotten beyond the walls and is racing toward Haven. She has no desire to watch another kingdom fall. To have her empathic abilities be the cause of hundreds of more deaths. To be a prisoner of hate and destruction and fear.
Unfortunately, Aria's scheme is no simple goal. It won't be as smooth as outrunning or outwitting several guards on horseback through a dense forest. Not as lucky as a blond stranger offering assistance without hesitation when all seems lost. Not as easy as meeting with King William of Haven. Not that ease and luck are anything she is accustomed to. Nor is time on her side as it rushes away from her in blurs.
No. Not at all.
Haven is about to reveal dark secrets, a promise will be broken, Aria will momentarily let herself be swept away, and punishment will be swift and painful as always. Not quite in that exact order, of course. But either way, when the end arrives, it turns out being the so-called King's Sorceress means nothing when she is no longer needed for the chaos that awaits.
~*~
The King's Sorceress is a short, fast-paced, single perspective novella. An introduction to Aria, Nicholas, and the backstory that brings together a much greater universe. A universe that includes the Rogue Beyond the Wall Series and The Sorceress Saga. More to be revealed, in much longer epic tales, as Aria ventures into the unknown world and the future that awaits.
