The Moth of the House of Hua

The tenth heir to the house of Hua was born into a time of war, in the shattered remains of a once-great estate. The records that might enumerate her great deeds are gone; no pacts of renown gild her legacy, and no scrap of her name survives.

Yifen Hua is not the heir her warlock mother hoped for, and now her mother is dead. Accompanied by Sille, her sworn retainer, she flees the growing war between mages to a farm where they both try to live a quiet life. Here there is plenty, family, and perhaps even joy.

But no matter how far she runs, her birthright—and her family's enemies—will always find her.

The Moth of the House of Hua is a novelette detailing a lost chapter of the Hua family chronicles and features a tragic romance between a Hua heir and her knight. This is part of Those Who Break Chains but only requires that you have read The Grace of Sorcerers for context.
