Empire Mage Academy

Lavina and Leonora Loriel are cousins, but they have never met before!! Lavinia is from the noble Main House in the Western Capital, and Leonora is from a branch family who run the Clan's mining interests, on the other side of the Empire in the Eastern Mountains. Follow their adventures as they join forces, and go away to the greatest Magic Academy in the Empire... Find out how Lavinia got involved in the greatest intrigue of her life, which led to her betraying the Empire, and siding with the Islanders in the Centenary War... The birth of the legend of the Sea Witch!! Also meet Leonora's first love, which leads to her greatest happiness, and her greatest sadness... Watch as the Wind Rose scatters the petals of her suitors. Author's Note: When I saw the writing prompt 'Academy', it seriously tweeked my plot bunny, and this prequel story came into being. I always wanted to give the reader more backstory of Lavinia and Leonora's past, but I didn't want to end up with too many flashbacks in the main story of 'The Sea Witch'. This isn't a day-to-day story, I intend to pick out the most important events, that take place over the five years they spend at the Empire Mage Academy. As a result, chapters will often start with a narration, which will cover any time skips, and set up the chapter.
