The powerful Duke Jorgen not only rules the city of Rivenna where she lives. He is also responsible for her parents' death and for the disability she's had to bear most of her life.

When the chance arises for her to compete to become Duke's assistant, she realizes this is her opportunity for revenge.

But everything in Astri's world comes with a price. Can she overcome her disability and make Duke pay?

The Mage Chronicles

   I feel great jumping over a broken tree and running towards the castle grounds. My pulse pounds in my ears, and my breathing is laboured. I've clocked at least ten miles today and all other contestants are way behind me. Even Sebastian's been struggling to keep up with my speed in the past few days. It's probably eating him alive. Good.


   All those years spent with Jared in the forest are finally paying off. I see Thayer and a few other members of Jorgen's entourage in the distance. It's another training day for me, and I wonder why they're here now. Maybe the duke's advisors have something important to announce. 


   The week flew by. We've been training every day, pushing each other and learning how to fight with knives and swords. Jorgen made an appearance once or twice, providing us with his own exercise regimen. I've never been more fit, but after the day I've had in the forest, I'll be sleeping well tonight.
