Evil within will soon stray, for those among will be the prey Eight years ago, Karramis gave her life to protect James and Rhiannon. And now, the truth behind her decision is revealed.

But with some of his powers still dormant, he propels himself into training, focusing on mastering the magic he does have and learning how to fight. Soon after arriving in Kiluemar, Rhiannons fears push her further away from her destiny and abilities as she learns more about magic itself.

The content in this book is the same, only the cover, title, a few errors, and formatting have been changed. This is a young adult, coming of age, low, epic fantasy series with touches of urban-style fantasy and magical realism. The series contains some mature content and language, as well as darker elements as the series progresses. This one is definitely lower young adult and is part of a series, so it ends in a cliffhanger. For content warning, please see author's website.
