Space opera meets old magic
Carina Lin grew up alone and friendless, a slum brat afraid of revealing her mage power. Her life changed when she was picked up by a merc band and taught how to kill.
The band's next mission is a doozy: rescue a kid taken hostage by one of the most powerful clans in the galactic sector.
When Carina takes part she finds she faces an impossible decision. To save the kid she must Cast, but if her secret gets out she faces slavery and torture.
She rolls the dice, opening possibilities she'd never dreamed of, but only if she survives the fall out.
Star Mage Quest is book one in the dark space fantasy, Star Mage Saga.
