Portia

A Gift for Magic. A Will of Her Own.

AT A GLANCE

Race: Human
Class: Wizard
Strengths: Loyal, analytical, kind, hardworking, practical
Purpose: To escape societal expectations and become a wizard

Portia is the only daughter of Baron Cedric and Lady Katherine of Nachtwald. Lady Katherine, a talented wizard, died under mysterious circumstances when Portia was only five. After her death, Baron Cedric forbids the use of magic in his kingdom and banished his court mage to the forest.

Now a young woman, Portia struggles with the future her father has chosen for her—including a marriage she doesn’t want. Determined to decide her own fate, she dreams of leaving Nachtwald and traveling to the distant city of Karavella, where she hopes to be accepted as apprentice to a legendary wizard.

Intelligent, strong-willed, and sometimes impulsive, Portia’s determination to become a wizard will lead her far beyond the life she has always known—and into dangers she never imagined.
