Voice of Power
Book 1 of the The Spoken Mage series
In Elena’s world, written words release magic so dangerous that only the mageborn are permitted to read and write. As the commonborn daughter of shopkeepers, Elena should have no access to that power at all, yet she discovers an unprecedented ability to wield magic through spoken words. Her talent sends her to the Royal Academy, where officials cannot decide whether she is a priceless asset or a threat that should be controlled. With war underway and attacks becoming personal, Elena must master her voice, survive mageborn politics, and decide whether enigmatic Prince Lucas can be trusted.
