Shadows of Perl

About “Shadows of Perl”

Unleash the darkness. Claim your power. Quell Marionne’s explosive final Rite of Induction sent shockwaves through the magical world, unearthing long buried secrets and her own deadly power. But she paid a steep price: her family and her love. Fleeing Chateau Soleil for House of Perl, for once Quell is celebrated instead of shunned. She has finally found somewhere to belong. But secrets lurk in every House, and Quell’s quest to find her mom threatens to lead her deeper into the shadows. Assassin Jordan Wexton, second-in command of the Dragun brotherhood, must protect the source of all magic, the Sphere. Yet the biggest threat to the Sphere is Quell Marionne—the girl he loved, until she claimed the deadly, outlawed toushana. As the Sphere cracks and war brews among the Houses, can the only way to save the world be to break his own heart? Now, these two lovers-turned enemies must confront their competing ambitions and conflicting loyalties. The future of magic—and their lives—hangs on their decision.
