Books in the Tales from Ondiran series

Freelance Sorcery at Reasonable Rates!Launching a magical career can be a challenge, even for a talented sorceress like Sinta, who-despite a naturally timid disposition-finds herself faced with spoiled rich clients, rampaging robbers, marauding pirates, and savage trolls (well, only the one, though it does have two heads).Alas, in the course of her adventures, Sinta unwitt­ingly makes a dangerous enemy, a high-born magician with the power and cunning to disgrace and destroy her. How will this humble apothecary's daughter escape his nefarious trap and bring the schemer to justice?Sorceress for Hire is Book Two in the diverting fantasy series Tales from Ondiran, but it is a free-standing novella. Reading Book One first will add depth but is in no way necessary!

It's hard to hide from a sorceress--as Colmar, a reluctant soldier of fortune, discovers after crossing the distinctly dangerous Valdira over a powerful magical artifact, the Eye of Ksera. To add to his troubles, a sinister necromancer, a grasping abbess, and an undead sorceress-queen all have this tantalizing treasure in their sights, as well!Indeed, the Eye is an ill-fated gem that has cost the lives of many who have sought to possess it over the centuries. Who will survive this briskly paced adventure in a quirky world with two moons and five different systems of magic? Who will emerge from it with the Eye?And, nearly as important, who will end up with custody of Angvar, the necromancer's crested green lizard?
