At twenty-two years old, Shasta Oaks finally has her first job with the family business, Oaks Consulting. However, instead of tracking down criminals, she's in the Dragon Lands of Wyoming, teaching adolescent dragons how to behave should they venture into the rest of the country. Some groups are better than others. The current lot is not better. In fact, they keep falling out of the sky.

What does a woman have to do to get a break?
Ruth Cavanaugh has survived slavers and a traumatic transformation into a Mage. Now she finds herself on an alien planet, connected to one of the high nobles. It was a pretty slick trick for a woman who never believed in magic, aliens, or many of the things that she has now seen.
The new Mage needs quiet time and a chance to make sense of the battles she has been through. The damage from her trauma is not healed, and it hampers her at every step of the way. But she keeps pushing forward.
As new enemies rise around her, attacks both political and physical increase. The Mage is trying to learn how to control her magic as quickly as she can, but the difference between the violent battlefield and a society that is more concerned with niceties leaves her vulnerable and hurting. She has her Anchor but also needs to find her own feet. Preferably without the flashbacks.
So what can this woman do to make sense out of her new life and prosper? Ruth knows that when times are tough you need to dig deeper and just go.
If you are the Unfettered Mage, that means shopping. Views: 276
