Magic is dying out and the only people who can stop it are a psychopathic dark wizard and an autistic mage with crippling anxiety. Nikolai and Medea must work together to discover why magic is declining. Their research takes them to America, where Medea struggles to navigate the Mundane world and to teach Nikolai telepathy-a school of magic she despises and fears he'll use against her. No longer set on killing his master, Nikolai is intent on finding a way into Medea's figurative pants. He's certain it's the key to winning her heart and learning immortality, but she seems oblivious to his advances and Yoxtl won't stop cockblocking him. The pesky fox spirit won't relent until he builds it a following. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Medea has sensed the decline of magic for years. Now that she has an apprentice who can help her discover the cause, she finds her discomfort with an ever-changing society getting in the way. Nikolai thrives in the Mundane world, but she can't trust him with something this important-he's always cutting corners. When they stumble on a cluster of Magi in the unlikeliest of places, they must decide whether to postpone their quest or let the group flounder. Can this untrained, disagreeable group of Americans become part of the solution? And can they hold off their enemies long enough to find out? ¿¿Dark Mind is the second book in the Fall of Magic series.
