Title: Scent of Magic
Description: An orphaned child and captive scullery maid, young Willadene possesses an uncanny ability to sense and understand the magical odors that pervade her world.  It is this remarkable talent--or curse--that carries her far from the fetid kitchen into an apprenticeship with a revered herbalist and ultimately to the highest circles of the Ducal court.  But there is depravity lurking within the castle's walls, inspiring brazen treacheries and usurpations--and foul abduction as unthinkable as it is unexpected.  Something horribly strange and forbidden struck at the dawn of a new day of corruption and terror.  And an innocent girl finds the heightened sense that has been her fortune is now drawing her down into a maelstrom of evil.
