Publisher's summary

Nora knows she needs to move on. And forget about magic.

She's back in graduate school, and her life is going surprisingly well. She doesn't need to think about other worlds, about enchantments and demons, or about magicians - even though she once aspired to become one herself. Most of all, she really should forget the magician Aruendiel, who shared the secrets of magic with her but fiercely guarded the deepest secrets of his heart.

Then a chance encounter gives Nora the opportunity to slip between worlds again - and the next phase of her magical education begins.

Her reunion with Aruendiel, so eagerly sought, triggers catastrophe. Alone and injured in a hostile land, Nora finds a new ally and accepts her first real job as a magician. Just as she's hitting her stride in this new role, however, Nora discovers that her intoxicating new power has a higher price than she anticipated.

Trying to distinguish between friend and enemy, truth and falsehood, Nora can take nothing for granted. It will take more than even the most powerful of discernment spells to help her and Aruendiel see clearly in a dark fog of illusions and lies. And finding her way to the truth could cost Nora her life....

I hope there is a third book!

I waited years and years for the second book and was ecstatic to read and listen. There is so much to love in this series. There is so much more magic for Nora to learn. There is so much more for Aruendiel to remember. Donne has so much more to teach us, as does Austin. Ms. Cory Barker, please continue.

As for the end of this book: It is perfect.
“All joys are due to thee,
All souls unbodied, bodies uncloth’d must be,
To taste whole joys.”

The END??!!?

I finished both books in 48 hours! It can not possibly end there so abruptly. There’s too much left to be said. 😔

Perfect follow up to book one. Hoping there will be a book three. And it will be equally as good.

I kept listening but

It didn’t get any more interesting than 3 stars. I was multitasking by doing house chores which is the only reason I was able to stick with it for blocks of time. I thought the story had potential but never resolved disjointed segments that weren’t tied together for me.

Loved these books! ❤

Great fantasy and romance mixed with so many magical adventures. The narrator was perfect for these books. She has so many great voices and her range is so fantastic! Hope to hear more from this wonderful author in the near future.

Book 1, Book 2, and Book 3?

I enjoyed listening to Book 1 and Book 2 gave me hours of interesting entertainment, particularly ridding herself of the dragon husband. The ending personified all that is good in the World. Now we wait for Book3, the life of the Magician and his wife, Nora!

Why!!!

Emily!! Yu always keep me hanging on!!
The first book I kept finding myself wondering what happened to Nora, like she is an old friend I just couldn’t forget. This brought me to look for other books and I found there was a continuation coming out. I still feel
Like I never want to lose touch with this story and I will always wonder how their happily ever after happens.
Beautiful.
