Bound by Runes - Paperback

by Katherine Scheirer (Author)

Fifty years ago, the Mages sacrificed their magic to forge a barrier against the Void-a chasm of darkness that spawns creatures hungry to devour all life.

Lilith never expected to be anything other than ordinary. She planned to follow her brother's path to Ardaven Academy, train her magic, and live a quiet life. But when an ancient prophecy entwines her destiny with the fate of the world, most of her powers are bound by an ancient rune curse, and her dreams of a quiet life are shattered.

Hiding from the lord who cursed her, she is sent into hiding at Skilheim, a brutal military college where only the strong survive. There, Lilith must learn to master the fragments of her power and uncover the truth behind her curse. Yet, even as she struggles to survive, she finds herself drawn to her mentor, a mysterious prince, and feels an attraction as dangerous as it is undeniable.

And just when Lilith begins to find her place in this new world, the impossible happens: the barrier breaks, and the Void awakens once more.
