Between Luck and Magic

Jedda served a prophecy-driven ruler, gathering information and betraying his friends for years. Forced into an impossible choice, he betrays his patron. In a panic, he turns to the two friends he trusts, Kirrin and Cham. Together they flee corrupt Tatak Rhe-- with assassins on their heels.

Once he gets used to the unnerving sounds of the owls and coyotes, he almost feels safe. His newly awakened magic becomes unstable and unpredictable, with giant fireballs exploding in the middle of the night- a bigger threat than those chasing them.

Cham guides them across the magical barrier into the Faenyr lands, where Jedda is welcomed, learns to ride a horse and even to dance. More importantly, he finds someone to help him control his magic. Jedda has the friends and home he dreamed of, until his past catches up with them.

Will his desperate attempt to keep everyone safe be their greatest threat?
