A Burgeoning Peace

Two realms sit on the edge—not only of the physical chasms that divide them, but of the fragile truce forged between Arcanians and humans in the wake of the Arcane Crucible.

A Shadow Unleashed

Elyria Lightbreaker may have survived the Celestial Sanctum, but she remains haunted by all that occurred, all that she did, within. Determined to reclaim the Crown of Concord and unmask the dark sorcerer behind its theft, she must master her own inner darkness if she’s to survive the journey ahead—and untangle the dangerous feelings pulling her toward Cedric.

A Victor Unmoored

Cedric Thorne sacrificed everything to conquer the trials. Now, burdened by a power he cannot control and truths he refuses to face, he finds himself in a kingdom splintering beneath the surface—and bound to Elyria by something he cannot, will not, sever. But some secrets are meant to stay buried, and uncovering them could be the key to lasting peace . . . or the spark that ends it.

A Bond Reforged

As twin victors of the Crucible, Elyria and Cedric soon learn there are many roles they must play in the pursuit of a new Arcanis. With enemies lurking in plain sight, they will have to fight with a whole new array of weapons, all the while trying to understand the bond that thrums between them: reforged, rekindled, renewed.

​​​Characters and Plot

The second book was wild, ESPECIALLY THE LAST 100 PAGES!!! â€‹

​

First of all, the twists and turns at the last part, immaculate, I was so sat, and that cliffhanger? DIABOLICAL! 

​​

My favorite part of this book was definitely when the whole team goes on a quest to stop the dark sorcerer and his cult, as well as finding the other half of the Crown of Concord. We got more knowledge about the world and visited other magical places as well, and met new magical creatures, which was interesting. That one twist about Cedric, did not see that coming at all. I love the shadow power of Elyria; her new pet, Sid, is the most adorable thing.  

​

The romance was fine, but I didn't really care about Elyria and Cedric's bond that much because it was predictable. But I am interested in Kit and Tenebris Nox; they are cute, and I would love it if the next book features them more. 

​

I cannot wait for the final book in the series, I am excited to see how all of this will be wrap up and what other crazy twists will be present. ​
