Two kinds of people inhabit my world: those with loads of magic and those with little or none. The Haves-usually warlords and their henchmen-use their arcane abilities to keep the Have Nots firmly squashed beneath their enchanted thumbs.

If not for the magically skilled warriors who saved me, the blunder surely would have been my last. While the last place I wanted to be was in the hands of a warlord, they didn't give me much choice.
I fully intended to get the hell out of their camp at the first opportunity. And I would have, too, if everyone hadn't been so damned nice. Or not dangled an offer to teach me how to use the powerful magic I didn't know I had.
