Description
When a gruesome murder happens within the barracks of the city of Vivarrah's guards, two women who could not be more different than ever join forces to find and stop the true killer - or risk darkness to fall over all the land. *** Kore Swift and Ophelia Ravenmoore. Two completely different people. One, an impulsive human and self-taught witch who roped in a crotchety elf to teach her more, and is quick-witted con artist and nimble thief who always takes the easy way out with magic. The other, a law-abiding citizen, uptight, dedicated guard, practical-minded person, and the hybrid daughter of the elven general of Vivarrah's army and a man she shall not mention. Polar opposites in every way, who interact only when Ophelia pursues Kore to arrest her for her crimes, and Kore to slip away without a little bit of teasing. That is, until Ophelia shows up on Kore's doorstep, covered in blood and asking for her help. For proving her innocence after being framed for a horrific murder, and stop the true killer. As they join forces and look for the real killer, as tightly buried secrets and self-forgotten pasts are revealed, Kore and Ophelia soon realise that not only do they need to clear Ophelia's name and stop the killer, they need to stop the killer before their plans come in full - otherwise they risk not only Vivarrah falling, but their entire world falling into darkness and ash. All while trying to deal with their feelings for each other. *prompt: When all else fails, throw a little magic at it!*
