Red Mage Ascending

The servant girl has a secret...

...and it's hidden in plain sight.

Hana serves a well-to-do family who treats her kindly, but something is amiss. She doesn't quite fit the role of a mere servant. Fluent in multiple languages, including the elusive High Elvish, she is an accomplished musician and a skilled artist. Yet, these talents are not the only things she keeps hidden.

Hana can wield blood magic.

In a world where her secret could cost her everything, Hana knows that discovery would force her into the Tournament of Mages-a brutal contest where she would face five other powerful mages, each mastering a different form of magic.

She has already sacrificed everything: her family, her friends, and the one secret she can never afford to reveal.
