On a planet far from Earth, descendants of marooned space travelers enter an uneasy truce after a decades-long war. Ruthless warrior Victoria of Ourtown became a wizard to end the war and wreak revenge against the sadistic tyrant who once owned her. Yet victory came at great cost, and now she must not only hide the power that instills fear among her countrymen, but learn to live without Ashel, the man she loves. Vic's last hope for peace dies when the mysterious aliens who made her a wizard force her to fulfill a destiny decreed during a long-ago war. Desperate to save Vic, Ashel joins forces with the only one with the power to help--the same tyrant who tortured and maimed him during the war. While Vic battles savage aliens, Ashel's sister Bethniel discovers the key to their salvation. Using it will change the past, but it may also destroy their future.

FAQs:

Q: Do I need to read A Wizard's Forge to understand what's happening in A Wizard's Sacrifice?

A: No. The books are written as stand-alone stories. Think of A Wizard's Forge as the origin story for Vic, the MC. It contains a lot of hints of what's to come in A Wizard's Sacrifice, and at the beginning of A Wizard's Sacrifice the characters are dealing with the aftermath of Forge, but each book still tells its own complete story.

Q: Why would you post a sequel on a free-read site like Royal Road?

A: This version of A Wizard's Sacrifice is still in draft form. I'm using this forum to gain reader feedback; think of yourselves as my virtual beta-readers. I want to know what works and what doesn't work for you. If you don't like something, that's OK and by telling me about it you're helping me make the work better.
