A Sorceress Made: The Moiriad, #2

By J.S. Mawdsley

After five years at the most exclusive boarding school in Myrcia, it's time for young sorceress Moira Darrow to leave the mundane world behind. Traveling to a hidden mountain retreat, she hopes to continue her esoteric studies, but she'll have to contend with challenges she never imagined, and not all of them are magical.  

A collection of short stories, A Sorceress Made is the second book in The Moiriad series, following A Sorceress Born, and is perfect for existing fans of the Myrcia world and Moira as a character from The Last Bright Angel, or those new to this world of magic.

J.S. Mawdsley

We’re a husband and wife novel writing team and have been since about a month after our marriage in 2007. He’s a teacher of education law. She’s a Librarian. Being able to write together so happily once made a friend remark that we are as mythical as unicorns. J.S. Mawdsley live in Ohio, where they share their house with half a dozen dying houseplants, and their yard with a neighborhood cat named Eugene, a mother deer and her fawn, affectionately known as the Countess and Cherubino, and a couple of blue jays, Henry and Eleanor.
