Description: Cleo is now a prisoner in her own palace, forced to be an ambassador for Mytica as the evil King Gaius lies to her people.
Magnus stands to eventually inherit the new kingdom but is still obsessed with his feelings for his adopted sister, Lucia.
Lucia is haunted by the outcome of the breathtaking display of magic that allowed her father to capture the kingdoms.
Jonas watched at the palace gates a troop of rebels behind him, waiting for him to tell them how he plans to overtake King Gaius.

After a bloody siege, Auranos has been defeated, its young queen orphaned and dethroned. The three kingdoms—Auranos, Limeros, and Paelsia—are now unwillingly united as one country called Mytica. But the allure of ancient, dangerous magic beckons still, and with it the chance to rule not just Mytica, but the whole world over...

At the heart of the fray are four brave young people grappling for that magic and the power it promises. For Cleo, the magic would enable her to reclaim her royal seat. In Jonas's hands, it frees his nation, and in Lucia's, it fulfills the ancient prophecy of her destiny. And if the magic were Magnus's, he would finally prove his worth in the eyes of his cruel and scheming father, King Gaius, who rules Mytica with a punishing hand.

When Gaius begins to build a road into the Forbidden Mountains to physically link all of Mytica, he sparks a long-smoking fire in the hearts of the people that will forever change the face of this land. For Gaius's road is paved with blood, and its construction will have cosmic consequences.

I didn't think I could hate King Giaus and Aron anymore but I do. King Giaus is cruel and so full of himself and Aron is a slithery snake.

What is up with the Queen? Why the sudden change in attitude toward Lucia? Will Magnus finally stand up to King Giaus?

I agree about Aaron and the king.

Honestly, i’m not a huge fan of Cleo. It makes sense the way she acts the way she does because she’s always been pampered and has been able to do whatever she wants, but I get bored with her.

I like Lysandra. I don't know whose side she is going to end up on.

Have a good 4th!

I get that. Cleo definitely was a spoiled princess but I think she has some tenacity.

Yes, I didn't really trust her at first but I think she will be a good asset to the rebels. Lucia's powers are corrupting her.

Thank you. Hope you had a good one.

Finished. I like Jonas. I was sorry about Bryan. Very happy that Aron got what was coming to him. I think Magnus is changing a little bit.

I knew it was Aron! I don’t like Magnus, but I’m glad he took care of him. What about his father now?

Finished. I do like Jonas. I’m still not sure about Lucia. I don’t trust any of the The Watchers.

I'm so glad Aron got his do. You would think that knowing that Gaius ordered his mother's death would change Magnus' mind. I don't trust The Watchers, either
