A blight of mages

About this book

In this standalone novel set in the world of Karen Miller's debut, The Innocent Mage, Moran holds the key to Barl's education. A member of the Council of Mages, he lives to maintain the status quo, preserve the mage bloodlines, and pursue his scholarly experiments. But Barl's power intrigues him--in spite of her low status. Together, he realizes they can create extraordinary new incantations. Morgan's ambition and Barl's power make a potent combination. What she does not see is the darkness in him that won't be denied.
