Addiction

Princess Seryn of Ceynes has lived her entire life on Agoran, far from the father who disowned her as an infant. With the help of Sam and Ithyn, the two magi who raised her, she has learned to live with her yangkemi addiction, but she wants more. She wants the throne of Ceynes.

On his deathbed, Seryn's father decrees that a girl child may succeed her father and ascend the throne, but Seryn's uncle, Lord Cyvas, stands in her way, even cutting off Seryn's access to the drug that keeps her alive.

Until she finds another possible way to live, thanks to an intimidating stranger from the north, a stranger who makes Seryn realize that claiming the throne will require a sacrifice she's not ready to make.
