The ace in a pack of lies. I'm doing my best to settle into life at the academy, and keep my secret under wraps. After all, I'm training for a future as a warden for the Agency of Magical Forces. Can't have a mass-murdering evil father as part of my pedigree. I still can't tell a rune from a rock, but life is good. Until I discover a dead body in the river. Before I know it, I'm thrust into an investigation to find the killer, which means using magic outside of my comfort zone. The more magic I use, the more I worry about succumbing to the dark side like my father. With the help of my new friends and the sexy vampire, Gray, I just might manage to live through it...if I'm lucky. Outclassed : Spellslingers Academy of Magic, Warden of the West (Book 2) is a fantasy mystery with humor, action, a powerful heroine, and a fangtastic hero.
