by C. M. MartensPublish: Jun 27, 2023Series: Magic FadeFantasyBook Overview
It was settled. Maslyn was going to magic school. And not just any magic school. The prestigious Mulik, where only the best SpelFreys train. Her strange brand of magic, magic she promises to keep secret, will finally come to good use. Use that will guarantee her top marks and a superior commission after graduation. A commission she’ll use to make a name for herself fighting the demons from across the sea just like the heroes of old.But starting this adventure is different than she thought. Her best friend leaves on his own journey. Stories of shadowed figures stealing people from their beds damper her excitement and force her father to leave her with a stranger as her guardian. Left by herself, she does the only thing she knows: uses her power to protect herself.
This broken promise prompts the ultimate betrayal. Maslyn finds herself on the first day of class without her magic. No longer equal with the magical elite, Maslyn is bullied by her peers. She should quit, wait to start when she finds her power, except she’s waited for this her whole life. She won’t stop now that she’s here.
A curious prince whose too-observant attention will lead to questions she can’t answer is only a distraction to her real terror. Hiding in every shadow, she’s sure the masked kidnapper she barely escaped has come to claim her. Without her power, the power he covets, she won’t be able to save herself from him.
Maslyn must come to terms with her new place before the Wraiths find her. No longer hoping to be the best; she’s just hoping to survive.
