Godia Chronicles — James Rice

A dream that can never be, and the will to defy nature's cruel fate. Such was the upbringing of Kyleen Star. A girl with aspirations to become a wizard, born to a race incapable of professional magic. An innate handicap, overcome by unrelenting heart to achieve the impossible. Standing at the cusp of those hardships, Kyleen's soon to discover that life's real struggles have only just begun. A journey that will venture to the farthest reaches of the continental Ashtopa, on the planet Godia. In the pursuit of a passion that's road will branch in directions she never could've possibly imagined. Godia Chronicles: The Jewels of Fate details a fantasy epic set in the distant future--2,000 years after humanity colonized the alien world, Godia. There, the people live simpler lives than those on Earth. The past's self-destructive technologies, and habits abandoned in favor of a more primitive way of life; inspired both by their own history, and the ways of Godia's natives. By that lifestyle's pursuit, new technologies and talents were achieved. Including the fantastical ability known as magic, which became a commonplace skill for all people, and ushered in the profession of wizards--masters of the magical arts. Exposed to professional magic at a very young age, Kyleen Star discovered an undying passion for it, igniting burning aspiration to rise to the status of a wizard herself. Yet born to a race of humans believed incapable of achieving that level of mastery, she fought back against nature to claim her heartfelt destiny. Putting her at the threshold of graduation from the wizardry tutelage of her adoptive father's teachings. An arduously high pedestal that's ascent had been riddled with hardships. Challenges on the brink of transitioning from difficult, to perilous.
