Four years ago, Angelica stood before him, betrayed and desperate when he uttered the vilest, heart wrenching words to her. "Stop trying so hard to gain my attention. Because, truth is...you never had it to begin with." But now she did and she didn't even want it. Tossed into an arranged marriage at twenty-two, Angelica had just one goal — to make her marriage work. She lived by the book; love, respect and submission. It should have been simple, unless it wasn't. He never saw her. Never loved her. Didn't want her. But now he did. "A chance, Angie." He said. "Give me a chance, and I'll forever prove my loyalty and love." "But you had your chance, Sebastian, and all you did was break me." Now she was saved. She had her life, their child, dreams she could attain, but some how he walks back in. Flowers in hand, promises in mouth, and a surrendered heart.

At the annual awards gala for Sterling Investment Group, my CEO, Blake Sterling, promised to grant each core employee any reward they desired. When it was my turn, the new intern, Chloe Finch, suddenly snatched the microphone, accusing me of being selfish for making a personal request instead of thinking of the company. I ignored her and scrawled "a dedicated parking spot" on my request card. Chloe then furiously splashed red wine on me, screaming that I was selfish and didn't care about the company's finances. I angrily threw the request card at her feet. She immediately shrieked, her voice laced with a threat. "How dare you do this to me! Do you know who my dad is? He's Julian Croft! Even Mr. Sterling has to show him respect. If you lay a finger on me, I'll make sure you can never work on Wall Street again!" I was stunned. I am Julian Croft's real niece. My uncle was a lifelong bachelor. How on earth could he have a grown daughter?

Na gala de premiação anual do Grupo de Investimento Sterling, meu CEO, Blake Sterling, prometeu conceder a cada funcionário principal qualquer recompensa que desejassem. Quando chegou a minha vez, a nova estagiária, Chloe Finch, de repente arrancou o microfone, acusando-me de ser egoísta por fazer um pedido pessoal em vez de pensar na empresa. Eu a ignorei e rabisquei "uma vaga de estacionamento exclusiva" no meu cartão de pedido. Chloe então, furiosamente, jogou vinho tinto em mim, gritando que eu era egoísta e não me importava com as finanças da empresa. Com raiva, joguei o cartão de pedido a seus pés. Ela imediatamente gritou, sua voz carregada de ameaça. "Como você ousa fazer isso comigo! Você sabe quem é meu pai? Ele é Julian Croft! Até o Sr. Sterling tem que demonstrar respeito a ele. Se você encostar um dedo em mim, vou garantir que você nunca mais trabalhe em Wall Street!" Eu fiquei atônita. Eu sou a verdadeira sobrinha de Julian Croft. Meu tio foi um solteirão por toda a vida. Como diabos ele poderia ter uma filha adulta?

En la gala anual de premios del Grupo de Inversión Sterling, mi CEO, Blake Sterling, prometió conceder a cada empleado clave la recompensa que deseara. Cuando llegó mi turno, la nueva becaria, Chloe Finch, de repente me arrebató el micrófono, acusándome de ser egoísta por hacer una petición personal en lugar de pensar en la empresa. La ignoré y garabateé «una plaza de aparcamiento reservada» en mi tarjeta de petición. Chloe, furiosa, me salpicó con vino tinto, gritando que era una egoísta y que no me importaban las finanzas de la empresa. Enfadada, le tiré la tarjeta de petición a los pies. Ella chilló al instante, con la voz cargada de amenaza. «¡Cómo te atreves a hacerme esto! ¿Sabes quién es mi padre? ¡Es Julian Croft! Hasta el señor Sterling tiene que mostrarle respeto. ¡Si me pones un dedo encima, me aseguraré de que no vuelvas a trabajar en Wall Street en tu vida!». Me quedé atónita. Yo soy la verdadera sobrina de Julian Croft. Mi tío fue un soltero empedernido. ¿Cómo demonios podía tener una hija adulta?

We have all heard the legends of great wizards, but do we know how those stories begin? Ardan Egobar, a young man living in a remote corner of the New Monarchy Empire, does not. He doesn't realize that this story is about him. Not yet... In a world where steam locomotives chug along iron rails, where massive airships hover in the skies, where in the cities you might encounter orcs in suits involved in organized crimes, dwarves with cigars controlling major banks, or elves strutting down fashionable boulevards, where humans have built vast nations on the brink of a world war, almost anything seems possible. Maybe, in such a world, even an ordinary young man, the last of the mountain hunters, might one day become the greatest wizard in history.
