Return of Magic

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. They detest magic, but now it’s the only thing standing between them and certain death. The Red Kin cult has ruled the desert city of Atlantis for six years, promising to purge magic and make the realm fair. Now their seat of power, the colossal Pyramid, is surrounded by a furious crowd, and the only thing holding the mob back is the very thing the Kin claim to hate most: a powerful magical shield. Inside, loyal Kin member Emery Morgan still clings to the belief that her leader is protecting the city—not destroying it. But when she overhears an uncomfortable truth, the first domino falls. She allows the use of magic to save a boy in need of help. If magic is an evil that must be purged, why are they hiding behind it? And if the people outside are monsters, why does their anger suddenly make so much sense? Then a thief slips past the wards. He wants the shield taken down and the Red Kin exposed, and he’s disturbingly good at twisting everything Emery has been taught. His words shouldn’t sound reasonable. Outsiders’ truths never have before. Yet Emery can’t shake the fear that this time, the real lies are coming from inside the Pyramid. If she helps the thief, the shield will fall and everyone inside could die. If she refuses, she might be protecting a regime built on something far worse than magic. Return of Magic is a prequel novella in the Atlantis Outcasts series, a tense, magic-laced story about cults, inconvenient truths, and the night a loyal follower starts to question everything she’s ever believed.
