Mage's Influence

Two sisters. Two seeds of power. One Mage's Guild, and an unprecedented new power, but which sister does it belong to? Cadence and her sister possess the seeds of glory and ruin, or so their father always insisted. Cadence never understood what he meant until Airlie's seed of power is activated, turning her into the most powerful mage in generations. Despite knowing it must mean her own dormant seed is much more malevolent, Cadence is swept away to the distant Mage's Guild in her sister's wake. She's used to living in Airlie's shadow, but she can't see a place for herself in this new world. Nor can she believe in the apparent interest of the charming Zeke. No one has ever chosen her over her beautiful sister. But leaving her new home isn't an option. Plagued by questions from her isolated childhood, Cadence needs answers, and the Guild might hold them. But as the revelations grow, Cadence must find a way to conceal the truth from her new companions before the sisters' secrets turn everyone against them. And as word of Airlie's power spreads, new danger emerges. Across the kingdom's border, a threat is growing among the ruins of their former neighbor, enemies who will do anything to get their hands on the sisters and the seeds they contain. No longer able to shelter behind Airlie, Cadence must make a choice. Will she embrace her power, whatever it might be, or pursue a different path?

A royal tour. A hidden settlement. A deadly new power. Cadence just wants to help Airlie. Instead she's trapped in a double life at the Guild. And with nomad delegations arriving for a royal tour, everything is only growing more complicated. As the threat from both the raiders and the fallen kingdom grows, Cadence and Zeke's charade is stretched to breaking point as they fight for their friends. But how can Cadence keep everyone safe when she's growing less and less sure who she can trust? Separated from her sister, Airlie has never felt more helpless. As she uncovers more about their heritage, her fear for Cadence grows. Cadence is ignorant of the danger lurking inside her, but Airlie can do nothing to warn her. Desperately searching for a way to help Cadence from afar, Airlie must find a way to unleash her own power before it's too late for both of them.

The wild power is getting stronger and ignoring it won't be possible for much longer. Cadence is willing to sacrifice herself if it will save them all, but Airlie and Zeke are determined to find another way. Drawn to the Hidden City, Cadence and Airlie are swept into the cutthroat terrain of nomad politics. Tribe Nicabar hope to seize the throne, but Annora's secrets threaten everything-including the sisters. But while the twisted vines that connect them all threaten to tear apart everything Cadence and Airlie hold dear, they might offer the only chance for survival. They just have to escape the vengeful wrath of the General first.

With the borders breaking down, and their friends in the settlement in deadly danger, Cadence and Airlie need to act fast. Instead they're caught up in politics where torn allegiances threaten their freedom. But the greatest danger lies across the border in the fallen kingdom. The threat of the General still looms large, and the wild power is far beyond the control of any one person. After a lifetime of deception, the sisters are still discovering their power and heritage. Airlie wants to let go of her final secret, but she worries it could pave the path to further destruction, and she fears its revelation might mean losing Cadence for good. But it also might offer their only hope of salvation. If the sisters have any chance of saving their world, they must do it together.
