![]() Tessla is close friends with Jules Kristian, a Kelt who will not bow to Gardnerian aggression, but when their village of Doveshire is raided, Jules is violently snatched away and Tessla barely escapes with her life. These conquests are spearheaded by Carnissa Gardner, the Black Witch, but not all Gardnerians share her ambitions. The Gardnerians are breaking free from their own history of oppression and making war on Elves, Kelts, and other foreign peoples. A generation before Elloren Gardner would leave for Verpax University in The Black Witch, her mother, Tessla Harrow, lives at a tumultuous time in Erthia's history. In 2019 the novellas were released as a single book, The Rebel Mages, and the two stories are a perfect fit together. Originally published as promotional e-novellas, Wandfasted (2017) and Light Mage (2018) take us deeper into the history of Laurie Forest's debut series. ![]()
