Wayward Mage

A Mage's quest. An untested power. A territory shrouded in a dark secret.

Kadaris thought her apprenticeship at Finoren would mean endless days of study and honing her craft, but her first assignment takes her far from the safety of the mage tower. Sent to investigate strange disturbances in a remote and isolated region, she quickly discovers the task is anything but routine.

What begins as an inquiry into disappearing livestock and minor mishaps spirals into something far more sinister—a dangerous cult is stirring, intent on wielding forbidden magic to reshape the balance of power. Alone in an unfamiliar land and with her own magic still untested, Kadaris must rely on her wits and courage to uncover the cult's secrets before their plans reach a deadly conclusion.

But danger lurks in every shadow, and the cult's reach extends further than she imagined. As Kadaris delves deeper, she faces not only the threat of the cult but also the growing realization that her discoveries may change the very foundation of the magical order she's worked so hard to join.

Can Kadaris rise to the challenge, or will she become another victim of the cult's ambition?
