Enchantress

This was one of the first books I got under Kindle Unlimited. There is a monthly charge, but not a per book charge. I really liked this book. Felt like it was a lesser Lord of the Rings. Brother Milo and Sister Ella live in a world divided by "houses". That is, the people are split up by clan. Although their clan is known for its magic, Milo is an expert swordsman. Ella dreams of uses magic.

Milo and Ella are raised by an uncle or something. Their parents were allegedly killed in a great revolutionary war. They are dirt poor. But Milo shows promise in the fighter training school. Ella sells flowers and works hard to save up to enroll in magic school. Both of these siblings excel in what they do.

We meet the other clans, and also other races that live nearby. It seems that there is treachery afoot. The enemies of Milo and Ella's clan are joining forces to take over the world. And while they think the emperor is behind this, it is actually something else. Something more wicked.

This is the first novel in the Evermen Saga. I am already reading the sequel.
