This is the second book of the Darkspires Series and fair warning, for those people who gagged on a magical seduction, calling it rape, I put two rapes in this book mainly as a reaction to the comments, so don't buy it then you won't be offended.

Quotes by C.N. Lesley (?)

“Each individual makes a unique selection of ideas fit a certain action for his or her own reasons. I can listen, suggest, offer alternatives, but the final choice must be yours alone.”
