Piperka

The child of a Federation Soldier and a Su’nethian Aristocrat, Oriole is an outsider from birth, who dreams of finding the Barrier Scroll and the good fortune it promises those worthy enough to wield it. When her guardian’s life is threatened, Oriole mistakenly casts an ancient magic barrier for protection. Whisked away to the Ivory Ministry in Vaal to harness her abilities, Oriole finds fellowship in the renowned Onyx Guard and an unlikely ally in the dejected soldier, Ryn Alrae.

Now that Oriole has glimpsed a world that perhaps accepts her after all, she is ready to fight to be a part of it. As Oriole’s powers grow, so does the desire by Emperor Su’neth to get his hands on the rare and ancient magic many thought vanished. As the threat of war looms between two nations, Oriole will discover things about herself that will change the course of the conflict, and what she believed, forever.
