By the Sword

Kerowyn, the formidable granddaughter of the legendary sorceress Kethry and scion of a noble lineage, has shouldered the burden of managing her family's ancestral keep since her mother's untimely passing. With her brother's impending marriage, she eagerly anticipates relinquishing her duties to his bride and returning to her true passions: the exhilarating freedom of training horses and the thrill of the hunt. However, her dreams of a life unfettered are brutally shattered when a devastating assault descends upon her home. In a single, horrifying night, her father is murdered, her brother grievously wounded, and his fiancée abducted by a malevolent force. Driven by a potent blend of grief, rage, and a desperate resolve, Kerowyn embarks on a perilous quest for vengeance and rescue. Unbeknownst to her, this harrowing journey, initiated by the dark sorcerer behind the attack, is not merely a mission of retribution but the fated first step on the arduous path to fulfilling her extraordinary destiny, transforming her from a reluctant lady of the keep into a formidable warrior.
