Berylis - Crimson Prophecy Novella - E-book - ePub

Separated from her tribe and family, sold into slavery, and mistreated, fourteen-year-old Berylis exists alone in a city of thousands. If that means stealing in order to eat, where's the harm in that? The aristocrats that she targets will hardly miss a few measly coins. She only takes what she needs. That was until her fence leaked information on what could be the take of a lifetime-the taxes of every merchant in the central market.
Lightly guarded and openly transported, it seems too easy to ignore. But nothing has ever been easy for Berylis, and nothing that seems easy actually is. Relentlessly pursued, she soon finds herself to be a fugitive, wanted not only for theft but for murder. It seems that nothing could go worse when a mysterious wizard enters her life with an offer that makes her rich beyond imagining and sets her life on a completely new course.
A course that will test her resolve and her principles.
