The Price of Magic

The Kingdom of Launair is on the brink of collapse. A plague, created by mages has devastated the population and people. Now all the mages are dead but their legacy still spreads throughout the land and will soon reach the neighboring country of Shanovia, a country with problems of it's own, caused by the mad King Uldread.
Orlaina is a barmaid by day, a burglar by night, stealing from the rich. She has a secret, one that could get her burned at the stake. She must avoid her parent's fate at all costs. SHe has been getting away with it for a decade now, that is until a desperate man and his father form a deadly plot that she must now help with.
Iley has been like an older sister to Orlaina, although living the life of a smuggler means they rarely see each other anymore. When a job offer comes along to let her live on dry land for a time, she takes it. How hard could it be to infiltrate and dig up dirt on a secretive and ancient guild anyway? She will have to learn all new skills to find all the information she can, starting at the Guild's prestigious college.
