Beginning in Unison: Ending in Cadence, Book 2

by Catherine Downen, Lillian Yves (Narrator), Vincent Lee Grayson (Narrator)

Choosing to return to Pintura to be with Emma was one of the easiest decisions Ash has ever made. But what he didn’t realize was that the world he now calls home is about to change, and he and Emma are at the center of it all.

Emma has spent her entire life believing the magic rumored to fuel her land had long since died, and the edge of her world was an endless black void. She thought she knew everything there was to know about Pintura, but all of that changes with her new allegiance to Lord Neko.

A forgotten history surfaces and makes them wonder if there could be something beyond the edge. Is there another world like Pintura lost in the dark void?

But there are people who want the past and magic to remain forgotten. And they’re prepared to kill to keep it that way.

In the eye-opening conclusion to the Ending in Cadence duology, join Emma and Ash in another adventure. Uncover the truth about Pintura and get sucked back into a game that holds the power to restore their world.
