Description
Iwy would rather be a farmer than a mage, but whatcanyou do when you accidentally burn a barn down without matches and the local witch hunters are less than understanding about it? Now apprenticed to a witchard (that's what she calls herself), Iwy has to come to terms with her new powers, while her new master Triand tries to find her next drink, her next flirt, and a way to destroy an ancient magical artefact in order to thwart a powerful wizard's plans of world domination.
Chased by everything from the witch hunters guild to wizard orders to masked sorcerers, Iwy and Triand embark on a journey to recover a mystical crucible that might just be their only hope. There are prophecies, witch covens, mystical wizard circles, more or less epic battles... and two women who just want to save the world and be home in time for tea.This book is for you if ...... you like DnD campaigns that have gone a bit awry and where your dungeon master is grinning all the time.... you like sarcasm, puns and banter but can do without romance.... you like a series. Book 1 is finished, approx. 150k words in 43 chapters.
What to expect:-POV: third person-steam level: cup of tea you forgot in the kitchen. Mentions, but no explicit scenes.-not YA, characters may bicker like teens but are in fact a lot older-lgbtq+ friendly-booze-witch hunters-uppity... I mean, wise wizards-austere...
