Latest Release: Daughter of the Dispossessed

An abandoned child, a power-hungry mage, and the lure of dragon magic. 

Ayleth is left in the forest to die. Who are her parents? It’s certainly not the dour couple who throw her scraps from their table. She does not fear the man who appears and buys her for a bag of gold. Wherever he takes her will be better than living with people who despise and fear her.

Lord Gondomir’s purchase is a bargain. He knows precisely who she is and will stop at nothing to mold her to help manifest his greatest dream. She must grow up quickly and plan carefully if she wishes to step out from underneath the bonds of the powerful mage who is training her to conquer dragons.
