Tempest Synopsis

A booming thunderstorm and the cold chill of rain wakes Ella from her unconcious state. She finds herself in the middle of a bloodied battlefield with no memory of who she is or why she's there. With nothing but pure survival instinct to lead her, she makes it off the war-torn field and into the tavern of a Northern town. Her strange appearance attracts the attention of a young lord on the hunt for something to take his mind off his own grief. Her dark skin is already a rarity in this Northern region, but her white hair and violet eyes make her downright odd. She formulates a new identity and names herself Ella, accepting a position as the lord's magical advisor. The magic coursing through her veins is exceptionally powerful, but with no memories of how to use it, she must learn to control herself before the lord catches on to her.

Romance blossoms between Ella and her employer, but her gentle nature is challenged by the arrival of the assassin on the lord's payroll. Through their interactions something stirs within her, bringing forth the truth about who she really is. Everything she's built is threatened when her memories start to return, tearing her in two different directions; different personalities, different ideals, and different men. With a civil war brewing, she must decide who her allegiance belongs to: her new home, or her people.
