Avery is a witch born between two worlds-feared by one, rejected by the other. When a ruthless mercenary destroys her family, she spends years hunting him... only to discover the truth is far worse. Her father isn't dead. He's been turned into the kingdom's most dangerous weapon. With a sarcastic thief at her side and magic she's still learning to control, Avery must infiltrate the heart of the empire and face the witch who took everything from her. But some spells can't be broken. And some choices will cost more than everything. ALL CHARACTERS AND STORY IDEAS ARE OWNED BY THE AUTHOR
