Forsaken Mage

For five hundred years, magic has been feared. Now someone wants to make certain it stays that way.

Kadaris has returned to Canowin carrying the cost of failure. Dinoren has escaped with the relic, an ancient artifact capable of making one mage far more powerful than any should be. He is a threat they cannot ignore. But before Kadaris and her allies can face him, danger rises much closer to home.

The capital is celebrating the birth of a royal child, and for the first time in centuries, the crown is preparing to show the realm that magic can return without fear. Not everyone wants that future to survive. Fear is a weapon, and someone in Canowin knows exactly how to use it.

As suspicion spreads and fragile alliances begin to crack, Kadaris must prove herself in a city that has every reason not to trust her. If Kadaris cannot stop the threat before panic takes hold, the future she fought for may be forsaken before she ever has the chance to reclaim what was lost.
