The hourglass empties for her peaceful life when her past comes for a reckoning.
Following the Clovian Revolutionary War, Cyra lives in secret among her former enemies, far from the kingdom that thinks her dead and the deeds that made her either a hero or a villain, depending who you ask.
For four years, Cyra enjoys her mundane small-town life within the newly-independent Clovia. She locks away her memories of the war, and the scars they left on her soul, finding solace in running a saloon and bonding with the locals. If anyone finds out she’s a magic-wielding Syphon, an infamous Castorian ranger who fought against their independence, they’d put a bullet in her head.
When someone from her past—Finn, the man who broke her heart—upends everything, Cyra must confront the life she left behind, and embark on a journey into her past that begins at the famous Wyndfyre Academy, the most prestigious magic school for Syphons in the Kingdom of Castoria.
Ballad of a Renegade follows Cyra across two interwoven timelines, tied together with second-chance romance and wrapped in themes of nostalgia and loss of innocence, as our heroine reflects on her past in school, and faces a future scarred by a war in which she was far from a bystander.
Perfect for audiences who love a complex heroine, magic versus changing technology in an Old West / Late Victorian inspired world, fast-paced action, forced proximity, secret identities, and medium spice.
