YA
Elizabeth's career as a witch hunter is cut short when she finds herself accused of practicing illicit magic. To her surprise, the wizard who saves her is compassionate, not evil. Untangling the skein of political machinations driving the kingdom's laws leads Elizabeth on an adventure to find redemption and love. Although the tale has plenty of action and vibrant secondary characters, Elizabeth herself lacks verve.
