Power of the Sorceress (Immortal Sorceress, #0.5)

What good is gaining immortality when you've lost everything?
I'm trapped in a nightmare.
I'm a sorceress with no grasp on her magic, my family is dead, and my home is gone. A traitor's ritual bound me to Emrick, a servant of Death, and I follow him with no reason to keep going except my body's inability to die.
The only way to put my guilt and grief behind me is to become what I was born to be—a guardian of the balance between magical and mundane. But I quickly learn the world is filled with more evil than I ever imagined, and my power is no match for it.
Emrick can teach me, but doing so would require a sacrifice he's not willing to pay. Bond or no bond, I don't know if I can sway him. Especially not as my feelings for him grow as confusing as the rapidly changing world.
If I don't find a way to move on, my failure to save my community will haunt me for the rest of my long life. But if I become a strong enough sorceress, a skilled enough hunter, maybe I stand a chance at redemption.
Set nearly a millennium before the main series, this exciting Immortal Sorceress prequel offers sorcery, danger, and a love story that spans centuries.
