A Wizard's Forge

On a distant planet, giant, intelligent insects hold the secret to unbridled power and a young woman's destiny, but Victoria the Blade will defy fate to seek revenge.

Taken from her homeland and sold into slavery, Vic endures months of torment by a cruel tyrant before she seizes an opportunity to escape. After enlisting in a war against her former master, she gains bloody satisfaction raiding his forces. Yet her ordeal haunts her, alternately feeding and thwarting her hunger for vengeance.

Prince Ashel shirks his royal obligations to pursue music and Vic with equal ardor. Calamity and murder change everything, and his own vengeful quest leads to capture and imprisonment. Facing the tyrant’s worst cruelties, Ashel must summon the nobility he has long ignored.

Leading Ashel’s rescue mission, Vic discovers her mysterious destiny. Surviving by wits and will, Ashel learns an ugly truth. Death follows Vic’s footsteps as she goes to confront their enemy, but to defeat him, she must free herself of the past.
