Reign of Shadow, Book One

Fifteen-year-old Riana Starliss gears up to apprentice her grandmother as Starliss Winery and Vineyard's owner. When her quirky habit of sketching elementals lands her with the queen fire nymph as a reluctant ride-along, Riana's at risk of being seen as an outlawed Tyrmini - a wielder of elemental magic.Riana isn't so sure she's been born with Tyrmini abilities, but there's no doubt elementals are drawn to her, a telltale sign of being a magic wielder. As an orphan and possessing features that set Riana apart from her fellow townspeople, Riana feels more accepted by the feared creatures lurking in the Tyrminhai forest than the vineyard workers she'll one day lead. She'd do anything to keep them safe from the slaughter mandated by law.When the High King's Tyrmini guard arrives in Landsend, snooping around for a legendary healing elixir rumored to be made at Starliss Winery, Riana discovers she's not the only rebel in the family, and her grandmother is a masterful keeper of secrets. Secrets about Riana. Secrets about the state of Aelos. And secrets that just might get Riana killed.
