Madness Method

Cavnal has been at peace for nearly a century. Magic, once revered, is now the object of contempt. And anyone unfortunate enough to be born with its powers has been banned from the nobility and pushed to the fringes of society. All his life, Prince Tarik has known that if the world discovered his secret-that he was born a mage-he would lose everything. But when a wave of violence in the city points back to an underground society of mages, everything changes. Only Tarik has the power to infiltrate their ranks. Only he can learn the truth about a plot that could destroy everything he loves. But nothing can prepare him for the life of lies he will have to live to win a place in that society. Or for Hayli, a shape-shifter mage who is unlike any girl he has ever met. She might be the one to destroy all his plans…or she may be the only one who can save him from himself. Together they face a dangerous web of sedition, crime and violent ambition, where nothing is as simple as either of them believed. And what they discover will challenge everything they thought they knew about loyalty and betrayal, love and honor.

Beloved prince, rebel, traitor… …Tarik brought his country to the brink of war. Can he now bring peace before he loses his own sanity? With Hayli in the grips of the Science Ministry and his allies in hiding, Tarik must wrestle his own demons before he forgets his reason for fighting. Some believe he is the key to defusing the hostilities. Some believe he is the only one who can save the mages from annihilation… …but at what cost? While Tarik fights to protect his people, Hayli must defend her life and her sanity long enough to escape her captors. But can she ever truly be free? As the lines between loyalty and betrayal blur, only one question matters. If the price for peace is too high… …is war the only option? You'll love this dark fantasy, because war is all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

Tarik, Hayli and their crew tried to stop the insurgency… …but they failed. The monarchy has fallen, the nation is leaderless, and world war looms. Heartbroken, Tarik escapes Cavnal and risks everything on a perilous voyage to the harsh and hostile country of Istia… …to secure an alliance that could stop the war. But the only way to win the Istians' support is to take power. Can he win their trust before it's too late? Or is his mind already too lost to madness to be saved? Without Tarik's leadership, Hayli and the remnants of his crew try to put the pieces of their lives back together. But then a rogue mage arrives in Brinmark with a claim that should be impossible… …a claim that threatens the last fragile threads of stability in Cavnal. And even as nations rise and fall and war creeps closer, ancient powers are stirring, sweeping everything-and everyone-into their eternal conflict. You'll love this dark fantasy, because when the gods go to war, no one can escape the fight. Get it now! A Sea Like Glass is book 3 of 5 in the dark fantasy series, The Madness Method.
