The Betrayal of Magic: The Intrigue of Magic Book Two

By L. J. Evias

Book Overview

A palace of lies. A trust wearing thin. A choice she may never forgive.

With the Royal Mage tightening his grip on the throne, Alice Harper is determined to uncover the truth behind the king's death. Her search draws her deep into the shadows of the court, where secrets are harder to ignore - and impossible to walk away from.

As the crown prince's power grows, Alice fears magic is twisting him into something dangerous. When he takes steps she never imagined, she begins to question what he might become, and what it could cost the people she cares about. But if she moves against him and she's wrong, she could hand control to the Royal Mage and leave the kingdom exposed to the enemies growing bolder by the day.

With trust eroding and choices running out, Alice must decide how far she's willing to go - and what she's willing to lose - to protect what's left.

Because some betrayals are necessary. And some break more than hearts.

The Betrayal of Magic is the gripping second book in The Intrigue of Magic, a character-driven YA epic fantasy full of slow-burning tension, magical politics, and choices that leave scars.
