Sorceress Revealed Nicci Baker

Gifted with an unending wealth of magic, young Ellyana Foster leaves her home to follow a haunting vision. However, retracing her steps from the dream places her directly in the path of men with murderous intentions ?

Prince Sebastien departs Altilaan to search for the Magician prophesied to protect his future rule. After rescuing the stunning, violet-eyed Ellyana, the prince realizes that she is the Magician he seeks. Ellyana returns to the palace with Sebastian to begin her formal education in magic. While adapting to her new life, her love for the prince blossoms into a close bond that is threatened by his scheming fiancée and Ellyana?s growing responsibilities to the crown.

When Ellyana embarks on a cross-country quest to locate the fragments of a powerful relic, she soon realizes that she is the pawn of those who seek to prevent the future rule of the man she loves and erase magic from the land forever.

A talented young girl realizes her magical power in the fantasy world of Altilaan. Ever since Tolkien and Lewis delineated the boundaries of the fantasy genre in the middle of the last century, the field?to its detriment?has largely belonged to men. This book?written by a woman and featuring a strong female protagonist?represents a unique and welcome addition to the genre. The author tells the tale with confidence and aplomb, and has a knack for believable dialogue that nicely complements Elly?s estimable descriptive powers. In addition, the characters are complex and fully developed. An impressive new fantasy talent. ?Kirkus Discoveries
