Orphaned and alone to fend for herself on the streets of Symbor, Sheyna Namear steals what she needs to survive. While obtaining a dress drying on a clothes line, she is mistaken for a student and quickly finds herself apprenticed to a visiting wizard. Little does she know that her new master is aware of her past and has nefarious plans for his new apprentice.
Sheyna is a young girl about 16 whose memory was erased, so she would not know whom she truly was. Her memory was erased when she was very young and now that she is older she is considered a street rat. She steals what food she can others tend to be nice and help her when they can. Sheyna already wields some magic but she has no idea how powerful she truly is until she is forced to use it. By accident she is discovered by one of the women in the tower and is forced into a position she is not sure she really wants but when her worse enemy becomes her best friend the journey will just begin. Great read for all ages. I cannot wait to read further into this story and the woman that will one day be called by “Lady Shay”
I completely rewrote the novella Wielder: Apprentice into this novel. The old 2007 paperback is no longer available. This is the new version that ties in with the Sacred Land Saga. It's the beginning of the story of Lady Shey. The series will wrap up with the third book and the War of the Oracle (the war that created The Sacred Land) I hope you enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed writing it!
