**2022 B.R.A.G. Medallion Award**
**2022 First Place - Clean YA Fantasy - Incipere Awards** Although Linden is now a Master Mage, she's struggling to adjust to her new duties. Her advisors are more concerned with keeping her safe than listening to her warnings about the dark magic gathering along the borders. But that all changes when a fay scout delivers shocking news: Mordahn has returned from beyond the grave. Even worse, he's discovered the ancient places of power, which are fueling his war machine. Linden must team up with Mordahn's arrogant nephew to destroy the places of power-but will they be able to save their homeland before it's too late?
