Description

Never again must another Arcanist rise…

They say it took one hundred magical beings to defeat the first Arcanist. Great care was taken to ensure the secret to his malevolent power died with him. Now the brutal reign of the Arcanist has become little more than a scary bedtime story. And yet, the descendants of his loyal followers have sworn to find a way to bestow his dark magic upon another. If they succeed, they'll unleash a new terror upon an unsuspecting world.

It has been five years since I found out I'm a witch and, at last, I have taken the final plunge into the magical world: I moved. Now, I'm living with in New York with

my closest paranormal friends and interning at MES, the Magical Enforcement and Secrecy agency. Other than having to lie to my non-magic family, things are going great.

Except that magics keep going missing… Tasked with figuring out if these seemingly random disappearances are connected, my friends and I find ourselves on the edge of a huge breakthrough; there might be a cult of witches and wizards practicing an ancient, forbidden magic. Worse, it seems like one of them is inside MES.

There's nobody to trust but each other and the deeper we go, the clearer it becomes that someone is trying to stop our investigation, even if it means using dark magic and deadly force.

Magic Betrayed is Book Four in the Urban Fantasy series, More than Magic, featuring witches, vampires, werewolves, and more. Please note, this book starts the six-book Rise of the Arcanist arc, which takes place five years after the original trilogy. As the characters have 'grown up' so has the content: this book and the following five are darker, with more foul language, and certain doors that are ajar instead of closed. As these were originally written as a serial, they are shorter and will feel more connected than the previous three. But, you can still expect your favorite characters, the snark, and the heart.

If you like your magic mixed with a little mystery and sweet romance, dive into your copy today. Also available on Audiobook.
