Voice of Command
Book 2 of the The Spoken Mage series
Elena has been accepted as a mage, but her commonborn upbringing makes it impossible for her to ignore suffering that many of her privileged classmates treat as distant. Disaster exposes the limits of her spoken magic, leaving her desperate to become strong enough to save lives both outside and inside the Academy. She reluctantly turns to Prince Lucas for help just as more powerful forces begin maneuvering her as a political pawn. Growing control over her voice therefore brings a harder question: what is Elena willing to sacrifice to claim a place among the mages without abandoning the people she came from?
