They might be better dressed, but mages can be just as fickle as demons . . .Disavowed by the clergy, Selissa is left to fend for herself when her actions lead her to become a prisoner of Var'nori. She is given the choice between staying locked up within the walls of the mage city or accepting to become an apprentice of the secretive magister, Feryll. It's really not much of a choice.Because while her life has changed a lot over the last few years, one thing is still very much true: Selissa really, really doesn't like mages

Life is much simpler when myths are merely fairy tales . . . Selissa hardly thought her life could get any weirder, but the gods appeared to have developed a sadistic fondness for proving her wrong. A request for her help with solving a series of mysterious attacks at a temple seemed fairly simple. But everything suddenly becomes far more complicated once Selissa is told who she needs to protect from the unknown assailant. Because the target just happens to be the son of the archangel Arnath . . .

The battlefield of angels and demons is no place for a mortal . . .Selissa has no memories from before the priests at the temple of Issara found her battered and bruised outside their gates years ago.

With him follows the horrors her lost memories have been hiding. Selissa suddenly finds herself fighting for her life and comes to realize that no one is what they pretend to be . . .

The victims will be many as long as war is part of human nature . . . A chance meeting with someone from her past causes Selissa to once again find herself in the middle of someone else's fight. This time her unusual task involves neither angels nor demons, but leads her into the heart of Ver'dohna where a war is raging between the military and the Rebellion. And while she is far from home, Selissa is offered new allies. The only thing she has to do is to rescue a man from the executioner's axe . . . . . . Right in the middle of the most heavily guarded stronghold in Ver'dohna.
