Story description:
Does she know the secret to lure the hymarinx, a rare and dangerous magical creature?
Nineteen-year-old Daraline Graciel lives with the sting of failure, ever since a foolish mistake forever robbed her of magic. When a hymarinx appears on her family lands, she sees a chance to redeem herself. If she can capture the prized animal before anyone else, she can finally prove her worth to her mother and the world.
But the hymarinx is an elusive, magical beast with sharp claws and teeth. If Daraline fails, it could cost more than her reputation.
(This prequel short story takes place about two years before the opening of The Keyhole Wizard.)
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! I’ll talk to you in January 2023.
