I'm Velicity. I live in a small home at the end of the kingdom with my sick father, and my magical mother.
But now they're banishing people. Killing, destroying, burning. By the end, half will have died. We need to escape, my parents and I.
The leaders of the government are Kara and her servant Stoump. They're killing, starting with us. The odd, the weird, and the interesting.
My mom will be first for sure. She be holds the power of literature. She inherited books that possess the power of life and death. She would do anything to protect them from falling into the wrong hands, like Kara and Stoump.
They must never get ahold of the books.
My mother would always tell me, "It's not the book that holds the power, it's the soul that holds the book."
My parents say that I'm peculiar. My power is much stronger than my mother's, but she know many more spells.
My hair is long, dark, with purplish highlights. My mother's hair is red, and long alike mine. My parents don't know why I have more power than my mother, they think I might have inherited some magic from my dad.
