Aria has long dreamed of a future that includes written words. But as a commonborn in Ardann, there’s only one way to achieve that dream—be selected as one of the fortunate few to be sealed. She’s willing to fight for that future, but a chance encounter—and rescue—of a mageborn throws all her plans into jeopardy.

Zak is attractive, charming, and kind, and he gives Aria a glimpse of a future beyond being sealed. But he’s a mage, and while times might be changing in Ardann, they haven’t changed that much. As a commonborn, Aria can have no future with a mage. And with a killer on the loose and targeting commonborns, her distraction might put her at risk of losing more than just her heart.

Of Books and Mages is a novella of approximately 40,000 words.
