This novel was published on Amazon in 2019. I'm changing some of the names, proofreading it and publishing it again here. Cast out by her own people. Her father killed, her fortune taken and her brother left on the brink of death. Now, Audra plans to become a sorceress and avenge them. After losing everything she holds dear, Audra decides to learn magic and fight back against the man who took it all.If she doesn't succeed, her brother might be unjustly tortured and imprisoned, and her family's castle taken.Audra heard of a powerful sorceress in the city of Vilnas, and plans to become her apprentice. But what the sorceress asks is not easy. First, Audra must leave her wounded brother's side, travel East and prove she's ready to learn.But her journey will not be easy or sure-footed; as war, treason, and the love of her life will tangle in a deadly and daunting web of uncertainty. What to expect:  Alternative history fantasy with a little bit of romance. -Sad backstories. -Female lead. -Riches to rags to maybe try to bring some money home. -Three potential love interests. It's partly inspired by Baltic/Russian history and mythology (their struggles against the Teutonic Knights). Very loosely, though. It's a world where the nations remained pagan. (I've never been to Lithuania, which is the main setting, don't kill me.)
