WaterMage Rising

When her uncle is murdered by a curse, seventeen-year-old water mage, Selena, must use her skills to solve his murder and stop the killer's plans to purge the world of those without magic. ****

Selena Mendelson, a sharp-tongued, ambitious student whose social skills are lacking, dreams of forging a career in spellcraft and potions. However, her authoritarian, dark-leaning father is pushing to recruit her to work for the government in his department, the Defense Bureau.

When Selena's uncle is murdered by a freezing curse in front of her eyes, she vows to avenge him. During her investigation, Selena discovers records in her father's study that reveal he may have killed her uncle to conceal information about a special project at work. When Selena asks to join her father on his business cruise as a cover for her investigation, he refuses, leaving her no choice but to sneak onboard the magical cruise ship, The Augurey of the Seas.

As Selena uncovers the truth, what she finds chills her to the core. There is more at stake than she ever imagined. Can Selena avenge her uncle while stopping the Defense Bureau's plans, or will her investigation freeze in its tracks?
