As Brief as Dewdrops

“You could show me a different kind of magic.”

Viveca Hua is the warlock of her age; a title that was thrust on her suddenly and unexpectedly when a rival mage killed her mother.

Now falls to her the duty of revenge. To defeat a foe powerful enough to best her mother, she must be steadfast, committed, and unwavering.

So it's very inconvenient when she finds herself falling in love, specially to a woman who does not even know magic exists. How can she combine this romance with the arcane war she must wage?

She cannot; but she will try anyways, as long as it may last.

As Brief as Dewdrops is a prologue story to The Grace of Sorcerers, written and published with the endorsement of its authors.
