Torn
The Autumn Equinox offers a chance for the few young men chosen to witness the magic of the Guild. The colony is blessed with bountiful crops, and prosperity, while the Daughters of the Guild grow their magic… and their bellies with young ones. Callie, the most powerful- and dangerous- element in the Guild wants nothing more than to leave. Jonah, a farmer’s son, grew up under his Godfearing Ma’s thumb, but nothing ever seemed right… until the strange witch stumbles into the markets, turning his world upside down and gives him a new purpose.
