A Rogue's Lament

Power remembers.

Magic never forgives.

On the island of Sorcerac, magic was never meant to be ruled.

Long before kingdoms rose from stone and salt, women bound the world's elements to their will-not through spells, but through knowledge passed quietly from generation to generation. When men came seeking power, they called it magic. The women called it survival. And when blood was spilled for a book that should never have been claimed, the land itself learned to grieve.

Centuries later, Miriana-sharp-tongued, sword-trained, and defiantly out of place-wants nothing more than freedom from the narrow life laid out for her. Raised by outlaws, scorned by nobles, and marked by a past she doesn't yet understand, she is unknowingly tethered to the very legacy the world fears most.

As whispers of the Black Book resurface and old forces begin to stir, loyalties fracture, secrets rot in the dark, and magic awakens with a will of its own. Every bargain demands a price. Every blade leaves a scar. And some laments echo long after the dead are gone.

A Rogue's Lament is a sweeping fantasy of rebellion and remembrance-where women's fury shapes history, magic feeds on suffering, and one girl's defiance may either doom a kingdom... or set it free.
