An epic, dark, magical fantasy about a young girl's struggles to save her family whilst trying to understand the power she never knew she possessed. When Carey Lee discovers that not only is she a witch but also part of a rebel order, she figures it can't be any worse than the life from which she just escaped. Little is she prepared though for what lies ahead - an all-powerful empire and a murderous Empress, a seemingly impossible quest to rescue her family, and a power so dark that Carey begins to doubt her very existence. Set between two realms, this, the Common Realm, and a realm of magic, Carey and her friends, Kat Lawrence and Ji Binx, must battle the evil Empire that is bent on destroying them as they try desperately to restore peace to the magical world to which they belong. For lovers of fantasy adventure with a dark streak, The Order of the Rose delivers twists, friendship, betrayal, and adventure in strides.
