Can British magick be saved? Hell yes. Imagine modern Britain without magick. No fae enclaves. No flying chairs. No magick wands. Giddy gods, no unicorns. Who wants to live in that world? Me neither. But with magick on the decline, that's the world we're ending up with. Meet the Society for Magickal Heritage. Our boss is a disembodied voice. Our headquarters is a sentient house. You could say we've a vested interest in keeping magick alive. Can a ragtag bunch of magicians, necromancers and fae prevail against inevitable ruin and decline? Hell yes. Try and stop us. First mission? Find the source of a magickal disease that's decimating Britain's troll enclaves - and fix it. Simple. Or... maybe not. For the only place that might hold the information we need is the ancient and inconveniently lost enclave of Farringale... This serial has an official home at http://www.modernmagick.net!

In Book I of the trilogy, Tamras, our hero, arrives in Merin’s house to begin her apprenticeship as a warrior, but her small stature causes many, including Tamras herself, to doubt that she will ever become a competent swordswoman. To make matters worse, the Lady Merin assigns her the position of companion, little more than a personal servant, to a woman who came to Merin’s house, seemingly out of nowhere, the previous winter, and this stranger wants nothing to do with Tamras. Tamras’s journey begins with the smallest of steps. She sets aside her disappointment and performs as well as she can the humble tasks given her, and eventually she succeeds in winning the trust and then the friendship of the cantankerous warrior to whom she has been assigned. In the first year of her journey, Tamras will make a series of choices that often seem insignificant, but they will flow from her character and from her good intentions, and they will determine her destiny.

In the frigid streets of Taareu, a scrawny girl searches for shoes to warm her toes. In the presence of a hearty fire, an old shoe maker waits for a beggar. In the salty waters off the coast of Filch, a Pirate sails to enact his revenge. And in the serene room in which he confines himself, the Commodore awaits his fate. What begins as the tale of a street beggar who sees no light in her repetitive, penurious life, unfolds into a tale of adventure, romance, revenge, and purpose as four characters are bound together under one similarity; they are each a chess piece to the coming revolution. WARNING: The contents in this story are all fictional and are very loosely based on reality.
