Arianna and the Kingdom of Two Worlds

“Arianna and the Realm of Two Worlds” is a fantastic novel by Anna Ray, the first book in the “Arianna Rossa” cycle. Genres: romantic fantasy, detective fantasy. If you’re a white healer who has awakened a dark power, then you’re headed straight from the White Realm to the Dark one.

And from there it’s only a step away to the Academy of Dark Magic, where there’s an opening for a master in the healing arts (traumatology). And if there are skeletons hidden in your closet—family secrets—then it’s high time to open that closet and solve those mysteries. What if it turns out that your father—whom you don’t remember at all—wasn’t a white mage?

And along with family secrets and a dark gift, in the “friendly” capital you may run into a dangerous Order that tracks such unusual healers. And if you also consider that at the academy you’ll surely meet two arrogant noble directors and a crowd of cheeky adepts—then the White Realm will be anything but boring in the Dark Realm!
