But things are about to get a whole lot harder.
Her slum settlement is attacked, and she faces a terrible dilemma: help her neighbors and risk revealing her powers, or do nothing and leave them to die?
Daughter of Discord is the prequel to the dark space fantasy, Star Mage Saga.
A dark heroine. Space warfare. Magic.

All she wants is to find other mages like herself, but her plan is fraught with danger. Warring clans are fighting for galactic supremacy, and if they discover her powers she risks slavery and torture.
A golden opportunity arises to fulfil her dream and win her heart’s desire. But if she loses, death will seem inviting.
