Asylum has fallen, and its princeps Maximillian Metel has been captured by the Council of Magisters. Max has lost everything—and at the same time, without knowing it, gained something greater: the right to Asylum.
During yet another attempt to escape, Maximillian by chance becomes the slave of a young sorceress Aura from an enemy state—completely changing her fate. Aura and Maximillian become pawns in a secret game of the magisters, but even a simple pawn can change the entire course of the match.
New! A one-volume novel about precious magical ore, Magisters’ intrigues, and ordinary people living in a world of dangers and someone else’s too-big games.
Charming main heroes—captured princeps Maximillian and young magician Aura—make an amazing duet that’s a pleasure to watch. Their relationship will leave no reader indifferent.
Epic fantasy, adventures, themes of losing and finding a family, love for one’s neighbor and one’s homeland. The novel’s world is inspired by the culture and everyday life of the Roman Empire.
