Warren tossed her head back, "Bah! By Priests! How is a woman to know which is her enemy when both sides want her dead?"
❈❈❈❈
Three forms of maygik were once wielded by the people of Asquith but now, as war ravages the land, the most powerful of them all has abandoned their blood.
A farmer, a soldier and a Duchess.
Three tiers of society in the Kingdom of Asquith are thrown together by fate to deliver an object to the King. However, there are forces lurking in the shadows, some older than time and of the most archaic maygik: entities who never want to see this object delivered, those who plot against Asquith's impending victory in the war.
Warren, a woman of power.
Silas, a servant and warrior.
Alec, a simple man loyal to the land.
Some things just aren't worth being killed for.
For the country? For the people? For the King?

Courage Comes From Lies
There's nothing worse than deception. To know your world isn't as safe as you expected it to be. To realize you're absolutely useless when it matters. To understand your best friend has kept a secret that would make or break you. Tara Koldem's entire life was just taken from her right in front of her. With no other choice, she's forced to leave behind everything. After a good night's rest, a new objective is in mind: find the person who stole everything from her and make them pay. With her new friend Devin by her side, nothing seems impossible. But when she realizes Devin kept a life changing secret from her, where does her judgment go from there? Sneak Peek: I tried to get up. But I couldn't feel any parts of my body. There was blood dripping from everywhere I looked. I could swear my leg was broken. Damn that troll was just tossing and throwing me around like I was a doll. Everything was silent except the ringing in my ears and the cheering and jeering of the audience above the commands of the queen to kill me. I could hear something else. A cry. A sobbing cry. I had enough strength left in my body to turn my head. And that's when all sense of pain left my body. I saw Devin with a blade to her neck next to the queen. She was crying out to me, "Please Tara just surrender! You'll die if you keep going! PLEASE!!!" She cried and begged me to stop but the queen silenced her. I tried to get to her but I couldn't get up. I sat there thinking to myself frantically "What do I do?! What do I do?!" She sounded so terrified. The Season Winter troll I was battling went to pick me up before its hand and head were sliced off in a split second. The audience went silent as I stood and glared at the Queen pointing my sword at her, its blade dripping the blood of my defeated opponent. The Guardian gave me the power surge I needed to force my way through the Queen's defenses, who she demanded subdue me. They were innocent, but stood in my way. So I had to cut them down.
