Flight of the Scions

Flight of the Scions is my fourth published novel set in the Fedran universe. It was written before all the others, but tells a story of a young teenage girl without any magic who ends up fleeing from mercenaries trying to kidnap her. Along the way, she makes friends from unexpected places, fights a giant monster, and ends up being betrayed but someone she thought she could trust.
