The Ancient Magus' Bride. Volume 13

Descriere

Hatori Chise has lived a life full of neglect and abuse, devoid of anything resembling love. Far from the warmth of family, she has had her share of troubles and pitfalls. Just when all hope seems lost, a fated encounter awaits her. When a man with the head of a beast, wielding strange powers, obtains her through a slave auction, Chise’s life will never be the same again. The man is a “magus,” a sorcerer of great power, who decides to free Chise from the bonds of captivity. The magus then makes a bold statement: Chise will become his apprentice - and his wife!
Buried Secrets

Chise and her classmates at the College are forging new bonds and friendships, but while they look to the future, the past still has a powerful grip on the older generation―and the futures some of those elder alchemists are working toward aren’t bright ones. Oblivious to the things taking place in the shadows, Chise and her friends head for the Scottish highlands on a training trip…only to find that many of the ancient neighbors who still walk the night there are less than welcoming.
