He's definitely reading my mind.
Everyone tiptoes around Elle's forming talent...an innate ability that she's oblivious to. Duty to his chosen entrant forces Gregor to grapple with the darkest days of his past. An oath sworn compels Niccolai to serve and protect members of House Phillary, but Elle meets his every move with fiery hostility.
Trapped between worlds, truly belonging to neither, and given very little in the way of answers, Elle grows more confident that she should have chosen differently at Induction.
What Elle needs now is to figure out what Terrináe has to offer and the real reason they brought her to Caetera. There are two problems with her plan. First, her benefactor, Gregor Phillary apparently has high expectations which are made clear early the morning after Induction. Second, and maybe more problematic is her acerbic roommate, Niccolai. There's something, quite literally, buzzing between them, and it's driving Elle insane.
Return to Terrináe, travel deeper into Caetera, and learn why Elle's talent scares them all...

Cursed Talent (The Caeteran Tales)

A murdered empress. A missing emperor. Mairynne Evangale called them Mother, Father. The country mourns while rumors of unrest stir. The sorcery castes struggle for power and the casteless riot in the streets. Conflict hadn't escalated this rapidly in Nantai since the Ry&#363; Wars more than five ages past. The people need a new imperial leader. Mairynne's soul yearns for many things, but she never wished for the duty her Father assigned. She carries two soul stones, one cold and the other hot. They came to her with the loss of each parent. They call to her, beckoning her to leave home. They reinforce her convictions . . . Her father lives. He will return to his seat upon the Serpentine Throne. But first, she must answer the call.

Call of the Storm Sorcerer (The Serpentine Throne)

Bronzewood Books

Sparks fly when an exiled Fae prince and a straight-laced detective team up to solve a murder. Banished by his mother from Faerie, Raine Abarta wants nothing more than to entertain people on the streets of Wickney, Wisconsin. But when the daughter of a prominent senator stumbles upon his show, he's drawn into her world and her mother's murder. When Raine takes his act down to the police department with intentions of helping solve the puzzle-or, uh, the "case"-he meets the ultra-serious Detective Kennedi Craine. To his dismay, she views him as nothing more than a charlatan, but when has that ever stopped him? Kennedi's latest case is open and shut, more of a paperwork and media hassle than a case. Senator La Point, after all, was holding the smoking gun over his wife's lifeless body. So, when a random guy off the street walks in telling her she's wrong, she sends him on his merry way. At least she thinks she does. As he keeps popping up, she begins to wonder if he's on to something. And when he broaches a situation from her past, she just can't leave him alone. Raine helps her solve another small case, and she starts to wonder if there might be something more to both mysteries before her.
