Destrim has always protected Tower Gardelle. His magic keeps not only the Tower, but the entire city safe from harm. With the rise of the latest Queen and King, however, magic is banned. Destrim's assistant, a twenty-some odd year old named Luistia, had little taste for his magic, leaving him only her young sister to train. He finds need for both when a powerful storm rolls in and throws the kingdom of Gardelle into turmoil. News of war breaks out as their sworn enemies are found to have stolen something precious to the Queen and Luistia's sister is kidnapped. Too old and broken to save her himself, Luistia is left with the task. The only way to get her sister back is for Luistia to retrieve the Queen's object. On her dangerous quest she discovers that magic is far trickier than what meets the eye, and that people are never as they appear.

Protector of the Crown
COMPLETED BOOK I was trained to be a weapon for the kingdom. I was forced into servitude to the King after my family was ripped from me. My new life was covered in the blood of my family...and now I had to protect the royal family who ordered my parents' death. They're all monsters, except for him...he was my charge and as much as I wanted to hate him, the prince was nothing like his vicious father. He was a warm light in my cold and dark world. I was supposed to be controlled, cold, calculating and deadly, but he made me crave freedom, warmth and all the things I thought died with my family. I no longer knew my path...but I knew it led to him. ****** Don't hesitate to let me know what you think of my book or if you see grammatical errors/plot holes! *16+ is recommended...sex is implied but not described (I came up with that little rhyme while I was brushing my teeth this morning!) and there are scenes of violence.Complete
