Exile

Neve has spent her life in the shelter of the Crystal Keep, developing her talent for magic and preparing to inherit from her father the Guardianship of this mysterious world. With this post comes the remarkable magic of the Nexus. But control of the Nexus is an awesome and dangerous responsibility, and to prove that she is capable of manipulating its formidable energies, Neve must journey through the outside world to the home of the Keep's creator. Along the way, she will meet a handsome young sailor whose love and guidance are essential to her survival. And, in this brutal foreign land, she must confront the dark side of the Nexus ... to claim the power that is her birthright.
