    About this series

    The Third Book in the Historical Collection

    Charlie Dauphin and Max Sinclair have been best friends since they met on a rainy night at twelve years old. 

    They share more than a powerful magic, a sprawling manor, and a hunger for justice and danger. 

    The Advocacy belongs to both of them.

    The Central Network, and then the fate of Alkarra, rest on the shoulders of two extraordinary men determined to save the world. With a team of Watchers and Defenders at their back, they'll do just that.

    But the winds of fate will turn such motivation against them. Charlie and Max have taken on more than any witch could bear alone. 

    Will Charlie and Max survive the onslaught of political intrigue, rising magic, and disaster that awaits? 

    Is friendship strong enough?

    Lovers of the Dragonmaster Trilogy will be thrilled for this follow-up (and oft requested!) installment in the world of Alkarra. Dive into the Advocacy, the political world of the Dragonmaster, and the lives of the witches we all love best.


    THE ADVOCATE IS THE THIRD NOVEL IN THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION. THIS EXHILARATING TALE OF FRIENDSHIP AND COURAGE WILL SWEEP YOU BACK TO THE WORLD OF ALKARRA.

      Wealthy landowners own the Eastern Network, so uneducated witch Vittoria Gutia isn't about to make any waves. She either works as a lavanda maid, or she and her beloved nephew starve to death. That sort of math is pretty simple. When an unexpected savior lands in her lap, fate falls with him. La Salvatorra—Giver of Justice—beckons her with him. To save her nephew, Vittoria takes the reckless Landowners' soon-to-be-disastrous offer. She's thrust into a glittering new court, a world without conscience, and the burden of saving her entire Network. Can Vittoria save her witches by focusing on what matters most? Or will the world of power and men cast her aside like the lavanda maid she was raised to be? THE HIGH PRIESTESS is the first novel in the Historical Collection. This exhilarating tale of first love and tyranny will sweep you to a new place.

Alek Popov, High Priest to the Southern Network, a witch hungry for the well-kept secrets of the silkmaking magic.  Can Andrei keep both magicks happy while forging the path required of him?  Or will Andrei's faltering loyalty destroy the clan from the very center?  THE SWORDMAKER is the second novel in the Historical Collection. This thrilling story will sweep you away to the arctic lands of the Southern Network, where magic teems and mysteries abound.
