Light from a Broken Lamp (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987195802)

Beyond the reach of light, what hides in the dark?

At twenty years of age, Hannah Baker lived a simple life where routine and familiarity were the only territory she dared to tread. But simple would turn complicated as she comes face to face with a sorcerer practicing magic in the market district. Not only is this illegal, but seeing a sorcerer commit such an act would surely result in her death.

She meets with the sorcerer once more at the Royal Ball held to find a bride for the Prince. He reveals that a magical illness, created by a group of vengeful sorcerers, will fall on the kingdom if the Prince does not revise proposed legislation. Hannah cannot decide whether to warn the Prince and the kingdom, as she would then be seen as an accomplice to a sorcerer (punishable by death), or to save no more than herself and her family.

But when her proposal to the Prince ties her to the fate of the kingdom, Hannah discovers more secrets that lie within the castle's walls. She must overcome vengeful sorcerers, an envious best friend, and a power-hungry Royal Advisor if she wants to come out with her life intact.

LIGHT FROM A BROKEN LAMP is cozy, "comfort food" fantasy.
