Dangerous.That's how sixteen-year-old Saray sees herself.As both a magikai in a land where magic is outlawed and an orphan who was abandoned by her parents to boarding school, Saray has been taught to view her abilities as a threat.When Saray's talents are accidentally revealed, she is forced to flee her school. But she is given hope by a sympathetic teacher in the form of the Isle of Dundere- a place where Saray can find safe haven for her magic, and where her blind friend Trina can seek healing for her vision.As they make their way, though, Saray and Trina will learn that much of what they've been told is a lie. To reach Dundere, they will need to face their own prejudices and depend on people they've been taught to fear. And Saray will learn things on her journey that will challenge her beliefs about both her own origins and the magic within herself.Because Saray's magic IS dangerous. But danger can be useful when it's wielded skillfully.

Shattered. That's how the Breoch Guard wants Ruby to see herself. Six months ago, Ruby used magic to save her eldest brother's life, and he thanked her by turning her in. Now she lives on a prison farm, enslaved for life, her right hand and tongue removed. When Ruby's middle brother manages an unexpected rescue, she is both grateful and sad, as fleeing the farm means leaving her best friend Kaden behind. Her brother plans to have her escorted to a lifebringer in Dundere, where she can be healed and learn magic safely. To do this, though, he will have to seek help from old enemies and face a past he's spent years running from. Soon after her arrival in Dundere, Ruby will find herself tangled up with a charming fellow with a questionable reputation, and, upon making plans to rescue Kaden, Ruby will discover that her friends on the prison farm are in grave danger. As threats to her, her brother, and both her enslaved friends and her allies in Dundere rise on every side, Ruby will discover friendship in unexpected places, and unexpected strength within herself.Because Ruby will NOT be easily shattered.
