From the introduction: Orphaned by an overly harsh sentence handed to her parents, Arwell found herself hungry and homeless in a small farming village. She wandered the woods, often to avoid contact with the townspeople. Dancing and performing for her meals, she grew resentful of the townspeople that took her parents away. She discovered her gift of magic in the midst of a white wolf attack. Having sworn revenge on the small village of Tachosh, she returned some years later to destroy all within.
