The Mage From Alira (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645666472)

The unassuming life of a young mage is about to change forever, whether she likes it or not.

Olivia Shaw was quite happy to sit around and pretend to work in Osmond's forge. Everyone else in Alira had their roles - her father was Court Mage, her mother worked in the tavern, and her childhood best friend was the prince - but not Olivia. She used to have dreams and ambitions, but ever since her magic was discovered, the Kingdom had all but forsaken her.

When trouble starts to brew of a magical kind, Olivia has to step up to protect her people. They may still hate her, but she can't let that stop her from fighting for their freedom.
