Runaway Magic

What use is a Mage without spells?

In the hidden country of Athia, everyone grows into their powers as a small child. Everyone but Aili. Without the ability to cast spells, she can't go to school. What life could she possibly have in Athia, where your skill with spells determines your future? Aili leaves everything she knows behind as she looks for her place in the world. Countries around them don't have magic. She'll find her place there, right?

There's just one problem. Powerful spells guard and protect the border. Sneaking past the most skilled mages in the country will be easier said than done, no matter how fast or far she runs. When she's tracked by the Scouts, Aili meets a man who will change her life, and show her how to use untapped powers she didn't even know existed. Her abilities aren't like anyone else's, though. Even her mentor isn't sure what all she can do, or how much power she really wields.

Everything she ever dreamed of is open to her now, if she can learn to control powers nobody understands. But when magic starts fading from the land, their entire way of life is at risk. Not willing to lose it all when everything seems within her reach, Aili is determined to save magic.
