Description
With her father away on a secretive expedition for King Ansel of Nerick, and her brother occupied elsewhere, Jara’s days are consumed with the mundane routines of her family seat and caring for her comatose mother. Sir Unul’s story tosses Jara’s ordered world into a maelstrom of unanswered questions as she realizes there is more to her family, her mother’s life and herself than she had been told. Unul’s visit propels Jara to the forefront of a war not only fought by men, but also shadows controlled by an ancient sorcerer determined to rule once and for all.
With little guidance and a leap of faith, Jara must learn to hone her newfound gifts in order to save the realm. Quickly learning who can be trusted, Jara builds a tight circle of companions willing to place their lives in danger for Jara and the future of Nerick.
For fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, T.H. White, George R.R. Martin and Marian Zimmer Bradley, Jara immerses the reader in a world of gritty battles, unbreakable friendships, magic; but, above all, the quest of self-actualization and growth. Jara can hold her own with the likes of Galadriel, Morgana le Fay, or Boudica.
