Magic thrives when a human dies...
For centuries the ones called Tempests have been growing restless with each other, fighting over the weakened magic of two worlds.
Mirrors give them a way into our world where they can feed of human death, but for a little while men have managed to create a special watch to hold them off. A marching minute hand grows the space between their past and our present.
But the more the Tempests destroy, the stronger they grow until the minutes lose their power and we mere mortals run out of hours.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
A world where magic must be hidden from mankind is a world where mages have no reason to exist. Zara was one of them--a young woman forced to spend her days in confinement, to lessen the risks of outsiders discovering the truth. She was not human. She was, as they say, a living embodiment of a thousand year old curse upon the Kingdom and humanity as a whole. And the only way to handle a curse, is to get rid of it--which is precisely what the Kingdom has proceeded in doing for centuries--eliminating any being that contained even an ounce of enchanted blood. Zara's lived most of her life with the threat of death hanging over her head. Though this never averted her heightening curiosity about magic, nor the abilities innate within her. And when a powerful, enigmatic Sorcerer comes to her with a proposition, Zara finally sees her chance to embrace the curse she was born with. It was a chance laced with precarity and destruction, but a chance nonetheless...
