All she wanted was to be a princess…
… instead she was born with magic.

Could one girl be enough to save them all?
Soon after her sixteenth birthday, Lady Alyx Egalion’s world is shattered when she learns that she is the daughter of a mage and must leave the boy she loves to travel to the distant DarkSkull Hall and learn her magic.

Following a harrowing journey, Alyx finds herself in a dangerous world where courage, magic and a growing friendship with DarkSkull’s other misfits are the only things she can rely on for survival. And the longer she stays, the more she discovers about the terrible secrets that hide her true past—secrets that challenge everything she’s ever believed in.

Outside DarkSkull Hall, mages are disappearing without a trace, and an uneasy peace begins to crack, threatening the beloved home she yearns to return to. Alyx’s long-buried magic might be enough to save them all… if she can learn to master it.

Her nemesis, Galien, strains at the leash of the masters’ control—his hatred for her placing Alyx and her friends in constant danger. With the world outside DarkSkull under threat from the increasingly restive Shivasa, the powerful Mage Council sees in Alyx a tool for the protection of the mage order. But the more time she spends in the mage world, the less she trusts the council’s motives.

And as they dig deeper into her mother’s life, Alyx and her friends uncover a terrible secret that strikes to the heart of her family and threatens the powerful bond of friendship between them. Can they come together, or will the ruthless world of mages tear them apart?

An old enemy is on the hunt…

Almost two years have passed since Alyx Egalion was first sent to DarkSkull Hall to become a mage. Now a half-trained mage apprentice, Alyx wields a depth of magic that scares even the corrupt Mage Council.

Invasion seems inevitable.

When a Taliath is revealed, Alyx and Finn find themselves on opposing sides of a larger battle. Neither of them is willing to yield. Alyx’s special abilities make her a powerful weapon, but they also make her a threat. As darkness sinks its tendrils even deeper into Alistriem, a horrifying discovery drives Alyx and her friends even further apart.

And when Alyx is offered the one thing she’s always wanted, it may require to her sacrifice everything she holds dear...

How far will she go to save those she loves?

In the epic conclusion to the Mage Chronicles series, Alyx Egalion and her friends must find a way to defeat the most powerful mage alive before he destroys everything they hold dear.

Shakar’s influence is spreading, his darkness descending on Rionn and Tregaya like a shroud. The Mage Council is cowering in Carhall. Mages everywhere are divided, some cleaving to the council, others to Alyx and the faint hope that she is powerful enough to defeat Shakar. Yet Alyx is on the run, pursued relentlessly by Shakar’s Hunters and hiding a terrible secret from everyone—even those she trusts most.

When tragedy strikes, Alyx is left with a heartbreaking choice. Is she willing to sacrifice those she loves to become the leader the mages need her to be?
