Forests of Grandeur and Malice
Book 4 of the A Mage's Influence series
Borders are breaking down and the threat surrounding the wild power has reached the point where no kingdom can remain safely apart. Cadence and Airlie must bring together what they have learned about their heritage, their seeds, and the forces that have pursued them since their powers emerged. Friends and allies face their own tests as political divisions and personal loyalties collide with the need for a united defense. The series finale asks the sisters to trust each other completely if they hope to stop destruction and shape what comes after it.
