About this series
It's time to decide: save the realm or settle old scores?
Their quest to find the Songmaker having ended in spectacular failure, Rovann and Maegwin find themselves ensnared in a tangled web of their own making. Rovann's ill-fated decisions have led him into a trap, while Maegwin has made the unthinkable choice to align herself with their enemies.
With the rebel army marching on the capital, Rovann faces a terrible choice. Should he sacrifice the lives of the thousands who live there to save the millions who don't? Or should he turn his back on them all and give in to his thirst for vengeance against the woman who betrayed him?
Maegwin, now the Songmaker's general, at long last stands on the cusp of the vengeance she sought all along. Yet it doesn't feel like it should. Instead of elation, she feels only emptiness. Surely this is what she wanted? Surely this is her destiny? Isn't it?
Now, as the endgame nears, the fate of many rests on the decisions of just two. Make the wrong ones, and everyone loses.

- The Last Priestess: The Songmaker, #1
1
Forgiveness or revenge? Which would you choose? Maegwin is a condemned woman. Once a revered priestess of Sho-La, she is sentenced to hang for a crime she refuses to repent. So when a mysterious figure intervenes to snatch her from the jaws of death, she wonders if he might just hold the key to her salvation—and her ambition. Guided by the dark whispers of her goddess, she agrees to join him in a perilous quest for justice. Or is it revenge? Rovann wants nothing to do with a traitor. Yet, as King's Mage, he doesn't have much choice. Tasked by his king with quelling a rebellion that threatens to plunge the kingdom of Amaury into chaos, he needs information— information only the volatile priestess can give him. Maegwin is not the ally he would choose. Unpredictable, cynical, and with more than a dose of darkness in her heart, he's not sure he can trust her. But they are both going to have to do just that if they are to unravel the sinister conspiracy lurking at the kingdom's heart—and emerge from the shadows alive. Join Maegwin and Rovann as they embark on a dangerous mission where the stakes couldn't be higher. If they fail, everyone loses. And if they win? Well, that could be even worse. . If you love Game of Thrones, The Wheel of Time or The Sword of Truth, you'll love this epic tale of darkness and redemption.

They should have known a battle doesn't win the war. Now the real trouble begins. In the aftermath of the battle at Carrow Crossing, Rovann and Maegwin emerge battered but alive—a fact that surprises them both. But as they catch their breath amidst the ruins, they realize the battle was but a precursor to a greater conflict— because the Songmaker's army is on the move. As enemies threaten the land from without and traitors threaten it from within, Rovann and Maegwin realize their only hope is to confront the Songmaker himself. After all, to kill a snake you have to cut off the head. They embark on a perilous quest to find the rebel mage's hidden lair, a journey that will take them far from everything they know and test everything they believe about themselves. In a world where loyalty is a fleeting illusion, can they trust even each other? With the stakes higher than ever, their decisions will not only shape their own destinies but also determine the fate of their shattered world. The King's Mage is the second installment of a spellbinding fantasy series, evoking the spirit of legendary epics like A Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time. Lose yourself in a world where mages clash, mythical creatures roam, and heroes rise from the shadows to confront the encroaching darkness.
