Even absorbed in her studies, Delphine can’t forget Nik or his mission to find Grey. When he reappears with a plan to defeat Grey, she’s desperate to convince Amara and Hayes to agree—even if it means putting herself in danger. But there are things Delphine doesn’t know about her own ability, and once in Grey’s orbit, it might not be as easy to extricate herself as she expects. Confused, and with her allegiance wavering, Delphine clings to the one certainty in the fog surrounding her—Nik.

Princess Giselle is excited to be leading her first royal delegation—until everything goes wrong before they even reach their destination. With her rank and authority stripped away and her people scattered, she’s left with nothing but a gaggle of geese. Giselle is determined to prove herself a true princess—in action as well as in name. But to do so she must uncover a conspiracy that threatens far more than her own future. With her life in danger and only a talking horse and an irritable goose boy at her side, she needs assistance.

Cassie knows she was made for more than a life buried away in her uncle's remote forest estate. Eager to meet the great spymaster, Aurora, she jumps at the chance to travel to her distant kingdom. But meeting Aurora isn't enough - Cassie wants to prove her worth.

In ihrem vierten Jahr an der Akademie sollte sich Elena auf die letzten Prüfungen und ihren bevorstehenden Abschluss konzentrieren. Doch stattdessen muss sie einen jahrzehntelangen Krieg beenden – zumindest, wenn sie sich eine Zukunft mit Lucas wünscht. Aber weit weg von der Front stellt sich das als sehr schwierig heraus. Und eine unerwartete Einladung – eine, die sie nicht ablehnen kann – macht die Sache nur noch komplizierter. Elena wird in politische Machenschaften verwickelt, die ihren Horizont übersteigen, und muss ihre bemerkenswerten Kräfte und neuen Fähigkeiten zur Perfektion führen.

Elena may be the only Spoken Mage in history, but she struggles with limitations. Unable to stockpile written workings as her mageborn year mates do, she runs the constant risk of burning out. But when the Armed Forces draw the third years to the front lines of their war, Elena's strength and flexibility may be necessary to keep them all alive. As Elena wrestles with how much she will sacrifice for the war, Lucas must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice for her. Faced with a greater threat than even they realize, Elena and Lucas must work together.

Finally accepted as a mage, Elena struggles with her commonborn roots. And when disaster strikes the kingdom, she can't shrug off the death toll as the mageborn have always done. Yet the limitations of her spoken magic hold her back--both in saving lives among the people and in competitions in the Academy's arena. In desperation she turns to an unlikely source of assistance--Prince Lucas. But just as she begins to master her powers, she finds herself the pawn of stronger forces.

Prince Darius of Kallorway is the strongest mage in his family--and the only reason his weak father is still clinging to his throne. Starting at the Academy at the same time as Verene, the crown prince is cold and distant and shows no desire to connect with her. Instead he seems suspicious of both her presence and her claimed lack of power. Surrounded by unfamiliar politics and long-held enemies, Verene discovers that some at the Academy want her gone by whatever means necessary. As the threats grow ever more sinister, she starts to question all of her assumptions.

In her fourth year at the Academy, Elena should be focused on final exams and graduation. Instead, she has no choice but to stop a decades-long war—at least if she wants any future with Lucas. But it’s hard to stop a war when you’re nowhere near the front lines. And an unexpected invitation—one she can’t refuse—only complicates the matter further. Embroiled in political machinations beyond her experience, Elena will have to plumb the depths of her remarkable power and new abilities.

Verene and Darius should be celebrating their greatest triumph, but instead they’re left with heavy responsibilities and too many questions. As they dig deeper for the truth, they discover a threat beyond any they could have imagined. With enemies both within and without, even the Academy isn’t a safe haven from the looming threat. Verene is ready to use her new powers to defend everything she loves, but she can’t stand alone.

Verene has survived first year. But discovering she possesses a new and dangerous ability has only complicated her tenuous position at the Kallorwegian Academy. Not yet ready to share her new powers with anyone, Verene finds herself with even fewer friends than before.

Verene is determined to complete her fourth and final year at the Academy, despite her family's opposition to Darius, and his own obstinance about the future of their relationship. And Darius needs to graduate in order to claim his throne. But with the threat of Conall looming over them, they must be more than just trainees if they hope to save both their kingdoms from the coming war - especially since Verene's abilities may be the only thing that can save them all.

Als die Prinzessin der Sekali unerwartet in die Verlobungsfeier von Elena und Lucas platzt, ist Ardann gezwungen, ein Team loszuschicken, um ihre Behauptung von einem neuen Feind zu überprüfen. Das Letzte, was Saffron erwartet – oder will – ist, um Hilfe gebeten zu werden. Aber sie darf nicht riskieren, ihre Familie durch eine Absage dieser Expedition zu entehren. Julian hingegen ergreift die Chance, sich selbst zu beweisen und die Gunst der Sekali zu gewinnen, indem er der Prinzessin hilft.

In Elenas Welt haben Worte die Macht über Leben und Tod – aber keine so sehr wie ihre eigenen. Als Tochter von Ladenbesitzern wusste Elena immer, dass ihr die Mysterien des Schreibens und Lesens verborgen bleiben würden. Nur magisch Geborene können es riskieren, die Macht zu nutzen, die durch Stift und Papier entfesselt werden kann. Bis Elena eine unmögliche neue Fähigkeit entdeckt und sich der Magierelite anschließen muss.

Sogar die Kräfte der sprechenden Magierin sind begrenzt. Elena mag die einzige sprechende Magierin der Geschichte sein, doch die Beschränkungen bereiten ihr Probleme. Da sie keine geschriebenen Zauber anhäufen kann wie ihre magisch geborenen Klassenkameraden, läuft sie ständig Gefahr, sich zu sehr zu verausgaben. Doch als das Militär die Schüler des dritten Lehrjahres an die Front ihres Krieges bestellt, könnten Elenas Stärke und Flexibilität ihnen allen das Leben retten.
