Thorns of Hope and Betrayal
Book 3 of the A Mage's Influence series
The wild power threatening the kingdoms is growing stronger, making it impossible for Cadence, Airlie, and their allies to treat the danger as a distant problem. Old secrets and divided loyalties sharpen the conflict as the sisters try to understand how their unique abilities fit into a struggle much larger than themselves. Hope depends on cooperation, yet betrayal may be hiding among the very people they need most. The third Mage’s Influence novel pushes the sisters toward choices that will test family bonds, romantic loyalties, and their willingness to risk everything for a future they may not live to see.
