Mallory Larue is the main character in this fantasy book series. In a world where most people are either Volvar, spellcaster, or Varang, those who lack magic entirely, Mallory is a rare Viken. A Cursebreaker.
Cursebreakers are the only being in Verlad who can alter a spell once it has latched onto a subject, but the magic of Verald has a life of its own, and it doesn’t like being tampered with. Because of how magic lashes out, practicing the art of Cursebreaking is dangerous, but highly sought after.
Mallory has spent her life hiding what she can do, at the urging of her mother Leda Larue. Leda and Mallory have kept her abilities a secret, and protected MAllory from those who would use her, by playing the part of simple barmaid. Daughter of the local fletcher. And nothing more.
That is until her childhood friend, Torval, returns home after several years, and admits to her that his curse has begun to morph. He doesn’t want her help, he says, but for how long can Mallory watch her oldest friend suffer without intevening?
Even if it might drawn the attention of other cursed creatures…
