The world has always been a dreary and brutal place for Bay. She was born while the world's saviour failed. The prophecies had been fulfilled, but the hero had died and with him the safety and wellness of the world had perished. Bay is fifteen when she is torn from her family and sent to one of many training schools. The purpose of the schools is to train the next generation of sorcerers to rule the creatures of darkness and all the world. Bay is sent to the worst of all the schools; the one overseen by the Sorceress herself. The woman who tore the world asunder, releasing the demons who roam the world now, and killing the hero who had been supposed to save them all. When Bay tries to resist the training and the Sorceress, her family is threatened. Bay must decide whether her family is more important than her morals. And she must determine whether she is strong enough to do what must be done.

The Tree of Eternity shelters all those who just believe. Or it used to, before the people banished the Tree and all it stood for. Now believed pagan and cult-like, the Tree of Eternity has a new name: The Tree of the Dead. Those few left who believe must do so in secret or be forever banished from civilization, if not put to death as a cultist. Dreavyn, the daughter of a high lord, believes in the Tree. She has told no one, but soon her secret will be revealed. Not only will she be entitled to banishment or death, but Lady Mansa, a witch who believes in a twisted version of the Tree, seeks for Dreavyn to fulfil dark prophesy and give Mansa the power she craves. Will Dreavyn give in to a life of solitude and banishment, or will she stand up for what she believes? Or will she be dragged into the sorcery of evil? ** This is a first draft and will eventually be reworked (probably a lot) before being published. The first draft will always remain available on Wattpad though!
