The Kingdom of Orion & the mystery of 'the Troubles' - 9798989367016

Esme Halle thought she had finally found peace. Creating a life in Avalon on the continent of Mar, she had worked hard to distance herself from her sordid past in the neighboring Kingdom of Orion. So hard in fact that she could barely recall any memories of her previous life, and she preferred it this way.

Now all of the secrets she had kept hidden so deeply even from herself, may be the only key to saving everything she holds dear. The sisters three, Esme's name for her mother and aunts, have brought the kingdom of Orion to its knees, information has grown scarce, and her dreams show her the past is the key to all. Now the devastating sickness is spreading, affecting all of Mar and threatening to stalk beyond its borders to the rest of the world. People have grown aggressive, pained, and cruel; disasters are daily, and terror lurks around every corner.

Believing in her bones that these "Troubles" have a source, Esme vows to uncover the mystery and set things right. Armed only with her magic, her cousins as companions, and an old book as their only clue, the three of them have little time to find the source, solve the mystery, and save the world.
