The Dark Mage has every advantage . except her.

Riley Trident narrowly escaped New Perth after a vicious struggle with Rendal, however now she has an even bigger problem.

Rendal keeps Mason captive on the dispatch headed for the kingdom of Sidnie. To push her allegiance, there is nothing he won’t perform to the main person in her lifestyle.

If he can’t have her allegiance? After that he’ll punish her.

Everyone around Riley implores her to refine her magical forces. Without them, she’s no match for Rendal. Yet without her, Mason’s days are numbered and Sidnie falls.

Will Riley funnel her powers with time to save them, or will her next struggle with Rendal end up being their last?
