Crown of Strength
Book 3 of the The Hidden Mage series
Verene and Darius should be celebrating a hard-won victory, but instead they inherit new responsibilities and questions that refuse to stay buried. Their search for the truth reveals a threat greater than either expected, with enemies both outside Kallorway and within places that should be safe. Verene is ready to use her growing powers to defend the Academy, yet even extraordinary magic will not be enough if she and Darius remain divided. Saving their people requires them to repair their partnership and help unite a kingdom fractured by years of bloodshed and political struggle.
