The Union Impossible: Part 1 - The Twilight Exiled
You thought you had no magic.
But when your magic awakened, it hurt the one you loved the most.
Born of the impossible union of a High Elf and a Sea Elf, Aluriel is shunned through her childhood and then exiled for the destructive magic she cannot control.
Accompanied by a grumpy dwarven priest and a warrior she meets along the way, she must make her way to a distant land, while enduring the whispers that would lead her to madness.
And something else is stirring. Gods, emperors, mages, and other beings -- whose attention she would rather avoid -- seem to take an interest in her and meddle...
This is the first book of a planned saga. Book 2 is being written currently. Each book gets progressively darker and may betray your expectations.
