Malena - People Of Melarandra, #1

Tried and convicted for being one known to possess magical abilities, as well as being caught using demons and dark magic, Princess Malena sits in a cell, awaiting her punishment. DeathGillock, advisor to the king and queen, has a different idea. His plan: to get Malena's side of the story, and before the penalty of death is enacted, banish her to the Void. It is the least he can do for the royal family, who has kept his secret for so many years.
Casting a small spell to set Malena at ease, Gillock sets about writing down her tale. What he discovers, however, is a sad story of a simple life, and the tragedy that pushed Malena to become the person that all see today.
