About this ebook
Awesome Power Comes With...
Deadly Repercussions
Devon Alamort, Lane Illea, and Dalton Trent have been forced to flee the massive city of Iandolo for the barren and deadly Flatlands. After the battle on the Lyceum grounds that ended the Brovettan coup, everyone with any power within the city wants to use them and the raw magic they revealed with the collapse of the Warding. The Mage Proctors want to know of the structure behind the magic Devon discovered while studying as a mathematics student at the college. The Iandolan Council members want to contain Lane and Dalton, because their power over the Crystal Cities relies on their control of the mages themselves. Even Carbolen, the leader of the consolidated gangs within the Lower City, wants to wield the magic they exposed to break the Council and free the city. But Devon and Lane want nothing to do with any of it. They had to escape, or be subjugated...or worse.
Unfortunately, the Council has declared war on Brovetto. Not just the insurgent city, but anyone who bears any ties to it as well. Brovettans within Iandolo are being targeted for vicious, brutal, and sometimes fatal attacks. Tensions between the two cities and their citizens escalate and, in response, the Council begins to round up all Brovettans in Iandolo and places them into “protective” quarantine zones throughout the city. The persecution and violence is intolerable...and is only growing. Devon and Lane cannot simply stand by and do nothing. But if they intervene, they are exposing themselves and risking the secrets about the magic that they carry.
And those secrets could destroy the Crystal Cities themselves.
