Broken Bonds: Realms of Asara - Paperback

by V. Bricker (Author)

Ruby Valestris, the daughter of a baron and student at Valwen College, thought she understood her place in the Andrean Empire: graduate as a mage, marry a duke, and continue the line of nobility. Every part of her life perfectly planned since birth.

But when her friend Kai steals an artifact from the college vaults, she offers Ruby another option-a chance to choose her own future.

While on the run, they cross paths with Serik, a wilder who has a mysterious history with Ruby's fiancé, and Gav, a charming loresinger with a bounty on his head.

Hunted by the thieves of the Kingfishers Guild and stalked by the ever-reaching influence of the Duke of Ayrilon, Ruby must evade those looking to collect on the reward for her capture-as well as discover why she shares an inexplicable connection with Kai's stolen artifact.

Broken Bonds is the first novel in the Realms of Asara series-a tale of dangerous magic, tense alliances, and unlikely bonds in a world where freedom comes at a cost.
