The Order

Eryn has lived a peaceful life as a healer in her little village for many years since her father's death - until everything changes one fateful day when a hit on the head reveals that is was not born in the Kingdom of Anyueel. Suspected of being a spy, she is delivered to the King, who keeps her prisoner after her magical abilties are uncovered. Being the first female magician after more than three centuries with a unique set of skills makes her a very valuable captive.

A clumsy step, the wrong branch to hold on to and a bump on the head to leave her unconscious – no more than that causes Eryn’s life to turn upside down and to suddenly find herself in the capital city as a prisoner to the king. She is determined to keep her magical abilities a secret in a kingdom where magicians have only ever been male as long as anyone knows. That doesn’t work out that well, though. The Order, the governing body for magicians, and the king seem to have their own plans with her, none of them caring in the least that she just wants to leave that blasted city behind and return to the peace and quite of her profession as a healer. And then there is Enric, a high ranking magician in the Order thanks to his considerable strength, who seems to find watching her struggles an amusing diversion.
