Katerin was content with her quiet life of studying the arcane, and wanted for nothing in her life. She had friends, family, and plenty to do. But life has a way of changing people--a way of pushing them to do things far outside their comfort and experience for the sake of family, and curiosity. Can Katerin find her mother, unravel a plot against a still growing kingdom, and keep her new friends alive in the face of the Untamed Wilds? The world is a dangerous place, more so on Itrea than anywhere else. ***Note: This book contains gore, and some other disturbing imagery. Rankings: #2 in highfantasy 3/27/2020
