Stepdaughter of Death

Aileen Revenghar is a lady, but she has renounced her lineage; a sorceress, but she fled the Academy; a foreign fiancée, but she left her betrothed to save… just a friend? Neither the burning capital nor the demons at the Academy frighten Lord Protector Gregor Bastelero, but his student has vanished along with the last of the Dorven clan, doomed to die for the sake of saving the kingdom. From this journey, only one can return, and Gregor will have to choose between the son of his fallen friend and his one true love.
