The Glove and the Skull

She’ll burn it all down if she has to. For her whole life, Madeline Le Torneau has only cared about vengeance. About a vow made as a little girl covered in her parents’ blood. A life for a life. That vow pushed Madeline into the prestigious Saberwyn Academy, a finishing school where students learn to wield incredible power and fight the ever-expanding evil called the Rot. But just as she closes in on the killer, her target is promoted and pushed out of reach. Then, the worst possible news breaks: a Rotden has appeared in Saberwyn City. It is a decaying crate slowly cracking open, set to unleash a creature of nightmares that will ravage the city if not contained. Now, Madeline faces an impossible choice. As the most powerful pyromancer in a generation, she has a role to play whether she wants one or not. But how can she hunt a ghost from her past when the city, and everyone she’s come to care for, faces destruction if the monster breaches its den?  Because surely she can’t accomplish both.    Right?  ----- What to expect:* Multiple POV’s* Weak to strong MC’s* Soft magic system, no number crunching* Romance as a sub-plot* Completed first arc over 130,000 words long.
