The Black Witch

Seventeen-year-old Elloren Gardner enrolls at Verpax University to study healing. Elloren's grandmother Carnissa was a powerful Mage known as the Black Witch, who led Gardneria to victory in the Realm War. Some think Elloren will fulfill a legendary prophecy and follow in Carnissa's footsteps, but even though Elloren resembles the Black Witch, she possesses no magical powers. Elloren comes to question everything she knows about Gardneria's history and culture, and realizes that there's good reason for the growing opposition to her country's new government.
