Liana Dhamon always wanted to be different. Born into a family of spellweavers, and lacking any innate abilities of her own, desperation enhanced by feelings of inferiority compelled Liana and four of her friends to cast her heartfelt plea across the realms. Liana's hope was that someone would respond, beginning her transformation. How could she or any of the others have expected Liana's desire would clash with that of another whose nefarious intentions would engulf the five – and their future generations – within an intricate battle for supremacy? Vitae is the first novel of the series.
