Deadly Fate: Book One of the Teadai Prophecies

What do a mysterious woman, a tavern wench who counts to calm her fears, and several annoying adolescents have in common? They are destined for a magical and uncertain future together. Whether they want it or not.For millennia, some have harnessed the Energy, allowing them to perform incredible feats of magic. Most with this talent die if not properly trained, and those few who manage to survive without guidance tend to lose their sanity. Haranda Banwidden and her kin must locate the untrained, many who come from backgrounds with beliefs that demonize them, instruct them in the Energy, and oath them into service. A dangerous void has formed within the Energy and is expanding. Ready or not, the prophesied New Age is upon them, and they must succeed against a growing list of enemies or disappear forever.
