The God Machine

As the famed black wizard of death, Zolton had two functions: first, to protect the world from the mistakes of all the lower wizards, and second, to destroy any being who rebels against nature and the will of God. Being an assassin of God has its perks, but when the League of Wizards charges Zolton’s beloved apprentice, Salamander, with treason and sentences him to death, the black wizard of death is obligated to carry out Salamander’s execution, even if it breaks Zolton’s massive heart.
Amanda has spent the entirety of her life hiding her true nature from her great black master. Only now as she hits puberty, her feminine body has become much more difficult to conceal, as well as the dangerous love she feels for Zolton. As Zolton’s apprentice, Salamander has access to the grandest powers in the universe, powers that are illegal for Amanda to posses, but as Salamander, she could learn from the most powerful wizard on earth, and stay with her beloved master.
When Salamander’s true nature is reveled to all, Amanda and Ferret, Amanda’s best friend and the only person in the world who knew her secret, are forced into hiding. Ferret shields Amanda from Zolton’s violent attacks, and mends her heart from the soul shattering loss of her master. As they continue to run, their undying friendship flourishes and Zolton has to watch while Ferret and Amanda fall in love.
