Mystic (The Nightblade Volumes)

FAME—OR INFAMY—COMES AT A PRICEThe saga of the Nightblade continues across the nine kingdoms.

Having escaped her home and her cruel parents, Loren has set foot on the path to her dream: becoming the Nightblade, the most feared thief in all the land. But the world has already dealt her harsh lessons in her quest, and now her friends Xain and Annis are missing.

To find them, Loren will have to rely on the help of the Mystic Jordel, a mysterious figure whose motives are never entirely clear. But Jordel is not the only one to don the red cloak, and soon Loren finds herself embroiled in conflict with the Mystic Vivien—a woman far more devious, and far more dangerous.

If Loren hopes to live long enough to see her dreams fulfilled, she will have to pit her wits and skills against those who seek to use her for their own ends—all in the midst of a conflict that threatens to tear apart the nine kingdoms once and for all.
