The Reader: A Dark Romantasy

In Ralheim, twins were rumored to carry dark Seid magic, and thus, one of the babes was put to death the moment they entered the world—before even taking their first breath. For anyone who has ever wished that reading was a magic power. The Seid had existed peacefully for centuries, willing to teach anyone who wanted to learn the language of magic. So many members had lost their only parent, or both, and had thus ended up without magic and a limited ability to read.
