About this ebook
Magic cannot be used without consequences, that's why you need a license to use it. But if your child was suffering because of the backlash of someone else's spell, could you stand by and do nothing? Wouldn't you want to save them, no matter what the cost?
This is a dark tale of magic, desperation and revenge.

Her offering was precious perfume for the chaotic god; she had to bring the best she could afford. It wasn't her fault the other women could only spare a loaf of bread or a bunch of wild flowers.
