Honor on Loan

All mages are cunning villains. In the Ellorian Empire, everyone knows this. Neither the fragile, defenseless woman nor the all-powerful Chancellor of the Empire is able to stand against the treachery and cruelty of the warlocks. The run-away widow of a state criminal, Feamril Ermaad, was robbed of fifteen years of her life, of the happiness of motherhood, and of her freedom to be herself—while Marshal Ross Jevidg lost forty years of his life’s memory, but gained power, status in society, and health. The two victims of high-ranking villains are left with only one thing—to join forces to try to crush the dark plans of the mages and avenge their ruined lives.
