The Mage Chronicles #3
Darkmage
Dive back into the epic young adult fantasy world of The Mage Chronicles...
Almost two years have passed since Alyx Egalion was first sent to DarkSkull Hall to become a mage. Now a half-trained mage apprentice, Alyx wields a depth of magic that scares even the corrupt Mage Council.
Summoned abruptly home, Alyx and her friends find themselves unprepared for the changes that have occurred in Rionn during their absence. Her father has lost influence at court. Lord-Mage Casovar claims to be protecting Rionn, but his new Mage Guard is harassing citizens on the street. Worse, the Shiven threat is growing, their armies building up along the Rionnan border. Invasion seems inevitable.
When a Taliath is revealed, Alyx and Finn find themselves on opposing sides of a larger battle. Neither of them is willing to yield. Alyx's special abilities make her a powerful weapon, but they also make her a threat. As darkness sinks its tendrils even deeper into Alistriem, a horrifying discovery drives Alyx and her friends even further apart.
An old enemy is on the hunt...

About the author
Lisa Cassidy
19 books274 followersLisa is an epic fantasy author by day and book nerd in every other spare moment she has. She’s an unapologetic coffee snob with a home coffee setup that resembles a dark wizard's experiment table, but is willing to accept all other hot drink aficionados, even tea drinkers.
She lives in Australia’s capital city, Canberra, and like all Australians, is pretty much in constant danger from highly poisonous spiders, crocodiles, sharks, and drop bears, to name a few. As you can see, she is also pro-Oxford comma.
A 2019 SPFBO finalist, and a finalist for the 2020 ACT Writers Fiction Award, Lisa runs Tate House, her independent publishing imprint. She is the author of four completed adult and YA fantasy series, all of which are chock-full of found family, adventure, and intricate character journeys that one reader has described as 'making me laugh, and cry, and everything in between'. She's currently buried away in her writing cave working on her latest series: Book of the Doomshroud.
Lisa has also partnered up with One Girl, an Australian charity working to build a world where all girls — no matter where they are born or how much money they have — enjoy the same rights and opportunities as boys. A percentage of all Lisa’s royalties goes to One Girl.
