Taliath - The Mage Chronicles, #2

An apprentice mage. A powerful order. Secrets that could destroy them all. Driven to find the truth behind her mother's death, Alyx Egalion returns to DarkSkull Hall to reunite with her friends. The lies that bound her past have broken open, and she's determined to embrace the magic that burns inside her. Despite her resolve, Alyx is haunted by terrible nightmares and the loss of her friend Brynn.
Her nemesis, Galien, strains at the leash of the masters' control-his hatred for her means Alyx can never be truly safe. And as they dig deeper into her mother's life, Alyx and her friends uncover a terrible truth that strikes to the heart of her family and threatens the powerful bond of friendship between them. With the world outside under threat from the increasingly restive Shivasa, can they find a way to come together and fight the growing darkness, or will the ruthless world of mages tear them apart? The second book in The Mage Chronicles is filled with magical battles, deep secrets, unlikely friendship and slow-burn romance.
Perfect for fans of Michael Webb, Ryan Cahill, and Michael R Miller.
