Orphan and Sorcerer Sneak Peak

Orphan Shayana runs away when she overhears her adoptive father planning to sacrifice her to the Dark Lord to bring him back to rule in

bodily form. In the wild mountainous regions of the north she discovers Arkana’s greatest secret – that she is actually the heir to the throne. Shayana must begin to steward newly emerging spiritual gifts in order to take back the tower at Aorn. Set in a fantastical Dark-Ages alternate Europe, it is similar to Mercedes Lackey’s Arrows of the Queen series, with echoes of the worlds of Narnia and Middle Earth.
