Ink Adept - Tibbitts TatiAnna

When ancient evil begins to rise again, a hesitant young magician must overcome cultural prejudice as well as her own fears if she is to save her friend, her country, and ultimately, herself.

Munayair is a remnant of the conquered Taellori nation. In defiance of her culture, she has dedicated the last eight years of her life to learning the ways of the Ink Adepts, but when a sign of doom appears in the heavens, the Adepts turn on her and throw her from the order.

Together with her best friend Anjita, she must leave the Adepts forever and face the dangers of the Cold Lands. With the aid of a mysterious forest guardian and a drunkard boatman, they discover dark forces threatening the fragile balance of the world.

Soon they learn the spirits are not as distant as mortals believe. They grow closer with every passing day.

And they are tired of waiting.
