***THE FIRST NOVEL IN THIS SERIES IS BEST ENJOYED WHEN YOU DON'T READ ANY SPOILERS BEFOREHAND.*** In life, love, and family, there is always strength in numbers. Something is off balance between the Windsong Sisters, and for Opal and Ruby, the terrible might of their powers may just lead them to catastrophe—or clarity. As half-elf mages in the service of the Order of Aiuna, the sisters spend their days collecting and preserving anything that magic touches, and as their mission takes them further back into their past, the darkness that awaits them there threatens to destroy everything they hold dear. Despite the dark smoke rising around them, Opal is finding it hard to ignore the flames flickering between herself and Baerdun. There’s just something about it that makes her feel weak, and not just in the knees. With so much happening around them, it’s becoming much harder to keep her heart her own. After everything they’ve lost—what if they lose themselves as well? Enter a world where shadows exist within and without, and follow Opal, Ruby, and Baerdun down a path that will either bring them together or force them apart. If you like Sarah J. Mass, Grace Draven, and Jennifer Armentrout, then Stone Magus is a novel you won’t be able to put down. ***WARNING: Stone Magus contains adult sexual themes, violence, and other explicit content that could distress some readers. Proceed with caution.***
