Finding the truth in the present means understanding their past.

Newly promoted to full physicker, Alec still struggles with his place in the University. Friends treat him differently and the master physickers no longer allow him to study with them. After everything that has happened, he’s still an outsider. When his father arrives at the university for healing, Alec must use everything he learned from him in order to save him, but even that might not be enough. He must discover the secret of his illness by finding a way to work with the master physickers, but what he finds is unexpected and hints at a greater plot taking hold.

Sam wants nothing more than to head toward the Theln lands after her brother, but with Alec needing her help, she postpones the journey. Rather than having the opportunity to help Alec, she finds herself chasing details of the past Marin has hidden, only to realize the deception to the city runs much deeper than she could ever had imagined. Could it be that Marin had actually saved Tray as she claimed?

Though they have both progressed in knowledge and ability, it still might not be enough to stop a plot against the city that has gestated for years and finally threatens to come to fruition. The truth behind the plot has the potential to destroy the city, if it doesn’t destroy Sam and Alec first.

Wots next?

No really... wots next? then next.. then next.. and next... next again... I just want to know wots next.. read in one sitting cos i had to know wots next? great story .. great character's ... another night withought sleep.
a prolific author coming from several unique plots and different strengths and weaknesess than normal books..
I have read most of the books and really enjoy them.

most people write reviews it seems because they think they are impressive and have a mighty opinion of themselves..

i write this trying to let ppl know that i enjoyed the hell out of this book and all the others (except for one series that was ok) and that i want other ppl to read this series because it was a good read..

Finding the truth in the present means understanding their past.

Newly promoted to full physicker, Alec struggles with his place in the University. Friends treat him differently and the master physickers no longer allow him to study with them.

Above is an excerpt from the novels preview. Alec and Sam are still discovering things about themselves and others. This novel is action packed and I am looking forward to starting the next chapter in this saga. Enjoy!

A lot of surprises!

More plot twists and surprising knowledge gained regarding what happened to Alec’s father. Samara has gained more skills and strength with her staff. Many lies are floating around with no way to tell what the actual truth really is. Now I’m on to reading Amnesia before I forget. ;;-))

Enjoyed this continuation of the adventures of Sam and Alec. Would change couple of word/phrase choices, suggesting instead smart aleck and gutsy in the objectionable places.
