The Conjurer Princess

The story takes place in a knights/castles type of environment, but with magic.). Beryl is the older sister, Lylene the younger one (and the main character.) Beryl is known as “the pretty one,” Lylene “the sensible one.”

One day a man named Randal is marrying Beryl when he's shot with an arrow. The invaders capture Beryl and kill a bunch of people at the wedding.

Lylene goes to study with a wizard to learn magic. In an event somewhat similar to Howl's Castle, Lylene is changed into a seventy-year-old woman when she is initiated into the magic. She can become younger by causing others to become older.

She learns that the magical ability she picked up, the ability to duplicate things, has problems of its own and these lead her to almost being killed in a bar fight. She's rescued by two men, Shile and Weiland, who are mercenaries.

She wants to rescue her sister from the man who took her, Theron. It's not going to be an easy task, though. Lylene still needs to become younger by causing others to become older. She needs to learn more about her ability to duplicate things. She also needs to learn how to manage to keep going when the body count from the battles she is in starts to rise.

It's a good story with an unexpected twist that throws everything into confusion. It's also not a happy story, considering the treachery and the number of people who die, but it's still a strong story with each character being drawn well.
