Fate Is Like Glass, Not Like Magic

Fantasy-Mystery Whodunnit: Liss is a young and ambitious mage who can't control her magic to save her life. Literally. She lives with her mentor, Uallas Eysteinn, a grumpy and secretive scholar of the arcane who knows more than he lets on. But when she finds him dead in his study, the victim of a mysterious murder, she realizes he was hiding something big. Something to do with the ancient runes, a source of magic that has been lost for centuries. The authorities have a list of suspects, including: Uallas's other ward, Nikon, a smug and cocky illusionist who always annoys her. The Inspector's nephew Dudley, a dashing mundane. Her rival Marigold, a snooty and arrogant sorceress. Her friend Tuesday, a kind and shy herbalist who has a dark obsession. A rival wizard Madadh who hated Uallas with a passion. And maybe even Liss herself.

Liss is determined to find the killer and clear Nikon's name, but she soon discovers that Uallas had enemies everywhere. Liss must solve the mystery before it's too late, and before she becomes the next victim of a cunning and ruthless murderer who will stop at nothing to claim the runes for themselves. Join Liss on a hilarious and thrilling adventure full of magic, mystery, romance, and betrayal in Fate Is Like Glass, Not Like Magic.
