Hi Ava -

So glad you enjoyed! There will be two more books in the series. We're hoping to publish the next book, The Demon Tide, next year. And hoping to publish the last one the year after. I have a rough draft of the next book almost done :) There is another book - THE REBEL MAGES - in the series as well that is out.
Happy reading!
