Guild Mage: Apprentice [Stubbing August 15th] Novel

Liv Brodbeck's life seems predetermined by her circumstances. Born with brittle bones, she's too frail to perform even basic kitchen work alongside her mother in Baron Summerset's castle. The servants whisper that her birth—a bastard child—ruined her mother's life, though only the Baron's mercy kept them from the streets. Physical activities other children enjoy, from wrestling to winter sledding, are forbidden to her due to the risk of broken bones. With few prospects and numerous disadvantages, Liv appears destined for obscurity. But everything changes when she accidentally releases a burst of wild magic. This pivotal moment sets her on an extraordinary path that will carry her far beyond Castle Whitehill's kitchens, through the frozen palaces of the Eld, and ultimately to the resting places of ancient gods themselves. This is a story of gradual transformation, following Liv from childhood through adulthood as she develops her latent talents and grows into her power.
