Synopsis

Agben had stood for a thousand years. A mysterious school housing more than students, it was the seat of the powerful Women of Agben, and the center for harnessing the potency of herbs. Few knew all that transpired within the walls.

And now Marra stood at its gate. With friends and support stripped away, the fragile life she’d built lay in tatters – and the source of this evil hunted her like a deer culled from the herd. Her narrowing path of escape led to this school.

For as the city itself crumbled, all depended not on a prince trying to save his people, nor the intrepid men who’d brought them this far. Everything depended on finding a magic powder in the vaults of Agben itself.

Everything depended on her.
