Blurb
A witchling child befriends a troll boy and changes the fate of a
kingdom.
Trolls aren't born. They're made, and they fight for the Kingdom of
Adynn. They are its first and fiercest protectors, guarding the roads into the
mountain kingdom.
When young Morgana befriends a newly made troll boy and names him Peter,
she unwittingly reveals her magic to his creator. Sorcerer Veritas removes her
from her remote village to the School of Sorcery. There she will learn to cast
spells and forge charms, but she’ll also learn the high price of friendship,
and the reality that someone with her magical ability will always be a target
for others who seek power.
War is coming to the Kingdom of Adynn. The Vlad Empire, with its death
magic and slaves, is closing in. Morgana will be trained as a war wizard, but
in her heart she resists the role. She doesn’t want to fight and she refuses to
kill. So Sorcerer Veritas will provide a little motivation.
A powerful story of friendship, magic and high adventure.
Excerpt
“Advocabit lux.” This time I
summoned a palm-sized ball of light that floated between us.
“Very good.” Pavel turned to depart.
I tugged on his trousers before he could enter his lab. “But that’s not
the light I want.”
He turned back to me, one eyebrow raised again. “There are different
kinds of light?”
“Yes! I want the one like Sorceress Selina has drawn on her ceiling. I
want it to work even when I’m not there. I want Peter to be able to touch it
like Matron can make Sorceress Selina’s stairs move even though Matron has no
magic.”
“Ah. Sigil magic is significantly more complicated.”
“I can read and write,” I said, in case that was the problem.
Pavel scratched his beard. The short bristles made a raspy sound. “Who
is Peter? Does he have any magic of his own?”
“Peter is my friend,” I stated the most important bit first. “He’s the
troll guarding the bridge to the school. I want to spend time with him, but he
won’t let me stay out in the dark and cold.” I kicked the floor. “And it is
dark under the bridge. Peter doesn’t feel the cold, but I don’t want him living
in the dark.” I peeped up at Pavel, but couldn’t read the sorcerer’s
expression. “Peter likes to read news-sheets. If he had a light, he could read
in his home under the bridge.”
"...home under the bridge.” Pavel sighed, heavily. “This is the troll Sorcerer Veritas created, yes?”
"...home under the bridge.” Pavel sighed, heavily. “This is the troll Sorcerer Veritas created, yes?”
