Relentless Mage

Five hundred years after the Night of Ashes, magic has returned to the world—but peace has not. Kadaris has already paid dearly for the power she carries. The ancient relic she once guarded is finally out of her hands and on its way to a place where it can be hidden forever. It should have been the end of the danger. Instead, it is only the beginning. When Dinoren learns who now carries the relic, Kadaris knows exactly what will happen next. He will hunt it. And if he reaches it first, the fragile future the mages have fought for may be destroyed before it truly begins. With Fern and a handful of uneasy allies at her side, Kadaris rides hard across fractured realms, racing to reach Ch'hikk before Dinoren can close the distance. But the road is long, the enemy is ruthless, and every delay gives him more time to gather strength. As old loyalties break, borders shift, and danger closes in from every side, Kadaris must decide how far she is willing to go to stop a traitor armed with ambition, magic, and too much knowledge of her weaknesses. Because if Dinoren claims the relic, he will not just threaten one life or one kingdom. He may doom them all.
