As the fate of The Three Kingdoms tips dangerous in the Chagoric Lords favor, Azika finds her path littered with obstacles and self-doubt. Frustrated and stifled, Azika races to master her magic in secret before her enemies' aim improves. Will she outwit her enemies before it is too late?Marek struggles to vanquish Azika from his mind, but the girl's golden curls and startling blue eyes have him distracted. Saying goodbye to his old life, he sets out on a quest-a quest that might turn out to be his biggest mistake yet. Clean Young Adult Fantasy
