The Dread Descendant
Twenty-year-old Maeve Sinclair is supposed to finish her mastery in Practical Magic at the most prestigious university in all seven realms, living a life of academia and orderly spells. But Maeve harbors a secret.She has the unique ability to jump through minds, making her rare power into a weapon both sides of the war are desperate to control.As a rebellion begins within her father's magical militia, Maeve should be studying mind-jumping, but she can't stay away from Malachite Peur, a dark wizard who seems determined to train her in magic she was never meant to wield.With the ancient prophecy of the Dread Descendant unfolding around them, together they face the reality that magic has no moral compass.Unfortunately for their enemies,neither do Maeve and Mal.
