And if you wrong her . . . shall she not revenge?
Meet Kara Hartman, a photojournalist who is hiding her magic from the world. Traumatized by her brother’s death, she wants nothing more to do with magic. But just when she thought she could neglect her gift, it becomes apparent that the universe has other plans for Kara. When she discovers that an old foe has broken out of prison, hellbent on exacting vengeance, Kara has no choice but to embrace the only power that can stop her.
somewhere in the frozen wilderness,
an ancient evil lurks . . .
Meet Tama, an adept winter mage of Khione, a beautiful, dangerous land. Bloodthirsty monsters roam the frozen wilderness, and the unforgiving elements are a constant. Tama and her friends, Kachina and Masou, are on the cusp of completing their education at the temple where they have trained for the past four years. They need only to do one more thing: earn the Goddess Tira’s final anointing. But to do that, they must fight through hordes of corrupted creatures and endure the perplexing obstacles within Mount Ordain.
The road before them is long and bloody, and Tira’s evil sister, Malsumi, won’t stop sending her minions until she is strong enough to break free of her prison. Tama fights valiantly to defend herself and her people from these twisted monsters. But she will soon discover the real threat is much closer and far more devious than she could have ever suspected . . .
Darkness rises…
On the shores of Cordacia, Tama believes she has left Khione and its dangers behind. But not even a full day goes by before she discovers that Malsumi's corruption has somehow, inexplicably, followed her here. When Tama, Liseli, and Isabelle go to the Amphitheater to watch the Games, corrupted creatures strike, and Tama leaps into action. Alongside Cordacia's finest warriors, she quells the threat, but no one is sure who triggered the attack in the first place. Her only lead is a mysterious woman who appears right before Malsumi's minions emerge. Who is she, and why has she aligned herself with the dark goddess? More importantly, will Tama find out before it's too late?
