Thornfall

Tarrya Illimor of Carrier House Leneiros is on the run. A thousand-silver bounty drives her from the protection of the port city of Arkoness into the waiting grasp of mysterious assassins and sorcerers-enemies who have waited years to claim her powers. Tarrya has always taken her role as heir to a Carrier House seriously, spending more time on the Blue, on the decks of ships than in the drawing rooms of notables, working the rigging and sails, plotting bold courses, and negotiating cargo fees in three languages. But inland and away from the tides, she's immediately out of her depth, hiding from her enemies in a back-country town that's already seething with political unrest.Thornfall is the first book in The Root Sorcerer Chronicles, an optimistic fantasy series full of secrets and heartbreak, corruption and betrayal, unconventional solutions to unexpected problems, and the lure of wielding a frightening amount of magical power.◹ Optimistic Fantasy, Epic Scope◹ The TannaQuell Lows Were Not Always Low ◹ Free Sourdough fracas ◹ Shapeshifting Pets ◹ Dross & Slag Daggers ◹ Reluctant loyalty◹ Blood, Bent, Breathless, and Sorrowful.
