Synopsis
Book 1 of The Mage Chronicles
The adventure begins here...
Decades ago, the mages went to war with each other in a destructive, decades-long battle that killed thousands and destroyed entire cities. Now, an uneasy peace lingers.
Born into the small, peaceful country of Rionn, a place almost untouched by the past war, Alyx Egalion knows little of mages or battles. Yet soon after her sixteenth birthday, the pampered daughter of nobility has her entire world shattered when she learns that she is the daughter of a mage and must travel to the distant country of Tregaya to learn her magic at DarkSkull Hall.
Stripped of everything familiar to her, and surrounded by strangers she cannot trust, Alyx finds herself in a world where courage, magic and wits are the only things that will keep her alive.
Outside DarkSkull Hall, the fragile peace is beginning to show cracks, and Alyx will soon learn that her wealth and status will not protect her from what is coming...
Book 2 of the Mage Chronicles - Taliath - will be available in July 2017
Synopsis
Book 1 of The Mage Chronicles
The adventure begins here...
The Taliath--ancient guardians of the mage order--have vanished inexplicably. A fragile peace that stood for decades is threatening to crumble. Yet sixteen-year-old Alyx Egalion is oblivious to all this. Daughter of the king's most powerful lord, she's popular, spoiled and dreamily in love with the prince and heir, her best friend Cayr.
Her world is shattered when she is sent to the far-distant DarkSkull Hall, a gloomy place wreathed in secrets where young men and women are forged into mages. Alyx's wealth and status mean nothing in the harsh and unforgiving school. Unable to access her magic, she is vulnerable to stronger students, particularly the apprentice Galien who torments her incessantly.
If Alyx can swallow her pride, she may find allies in the handful of DarkSkull's other misfits. And then there is the enigmatic Ladan Mirren, who seems to have an odd fixation on keeping her safe.
The longer she spends at DarkSkull, the more she discovers about the terrible secrets that hide her true past--secrets that challenge everything she's ever believed in. But in the midst of despair and danger, Alyx will learn the true nature of friendship, courage and loyalty.
