Heiress of Magic

Haunted by loneliness, a shunned sorceress with bone-white hair is the only one holding up the Seventh Demesne walls that protect the city from the sharp-toothed enemies who dwell in the shadowlands.

That enemy is plotting to make all humankind fall, but the citizens of the city, rather than forming a united front, are torn asunder by a guildmaster who pulls their strings like puppets. He turns healer against mage, the powerless against those in power, and in that chaos, a young guild dancer trapped in a strange marriage desperately chronicles her memories every night before a shadow steals them away.

While passions twine and rages flare among the sorcerers and the sorceresses of the Seventh Demesne, their last hope - the shunned sorceress holding up the walls - becomes enmeshed in the scheme of a treacherous mage, one who offers her the one thing she cannot resist: love.

And the enemy watches. And waits.

Then he acts.

And the city is not prepared.
