The gripping conclusion to the new Darkness Rising YA trilogy from bestselling author Kelley Armstrong

It's been many months since Rafel ventured over Barl's Mountains into the unknown, in a desperate bid to seek help for their ravaged land. With his father's Weather Magic exhausted, there seemed no other hope. Now this too has died. Only Deenie believes Rafel still lives, sensing her brother in tortured dreams. She also knows she must try to find him, as only Rafel's talents can heal their land. The prospect terrifies Deenie, yet she sees no other choice. Deenie soon learns of a dangerous power. She comes to suspect that not only is her brother involved, but that the evil their father destroyed is somehow reborn. The Reluctant Mage is the sequel to The Prodigal Mage, and continues one of the most popular fantasy series of recent years.

Anselm Andros believes he leads a normal life, supporting his mother, stepfather, and sister. However, as the political situation in Malonia changes, the family's hidden secrets begin to surface, leading to their unraveling.

Ze komen terecht op Dromeneiland, waar de jaarlijkste voorstelling van Caraval wordt gehouden. Het publiek speelt mee in een dodelijk spel en moet achterhalen wat fantasie is en wat echt. Vlak na aankomst op het eiland verdwijnt Donatella, en Scarlett kan maar aan een ding denken: haar zus terugvinden voor de boosaardige Meester van Caraval haar vindt en er doden vallen...

Many years have passed since the last great Mage War. It has been a time of great change. But not all changes are for the best, and Asher's world is in peril once more. The weather magic that holds Lur safe is failing, and the earth feels broken to those with the power to see. Among Lur's sorcerers, only Asher has the skill to mend the antique weather map that governs the seasons, keeping the land from being crushed by natural forces. Yet, when Asher risks his life to meddle with these dangerous magics, the crisis is merely delayed, not averted. Asher's son Rafel has inherited the father's talents, but has been forbidden to use them. Many died in the last Mage War and these abilities aren't to be loosed lightly into the world. But when Asher's last desperate attempt to repair the damage leaves him on his deathbed, Rafel's powers may not be denied. For his countrymen are facing famine, devastation, and a rift in the very fabric of their land.
