Glenna's heart sinks just as her boots sink in the mud,

when she sees how horrid planet Raghild is.

But there is no turning back now.

She must forge onward to meet the despised charlatans, aka, mages-the only ones able to help her get rid of the corruption that's killing her.

The sooner she finds the mages,

the sooner she can rid herself of the deadly corruption, and of the pesky mage who somehow sneaked his way into her heart.
