Rilla comes from a line of sorceresses going back countless generations — all of them powerful and all leaders in their centuries-old war against the elves.
But Rilla has a problem: She can’t cast a single spell. She’s a complete failure. Her problem becomes magnified when her mother vanishes one day, abducted by their ancient enemy. When no one seems willing to attempt her rescue, Rilla decides to do it herself.
She makes the journey through the hostile land of the elves, accompanied by Ias, a would-be fighter who failed his final test to become a paladin, a protector and fighting partner of a sorceress.
Together they must face savage warriors, formidable elven magic, and the brutal forces of nature if they are to bring Rilla’s mother home safely.
