Synopsis:
After finding her brother and saving the entire supernatural world, Amari Peters is convinced her first full summer as a Junior Agent will be a breeze.
But between the fearsome new Head Minister’s strict anti-magician agenda, fierce Junior Agent rivalries, and her brother Quinton’s curse steadily worsening, Amari’s plate is full. So when the secretive League of Magicians offers her a chance to stand up for magiciankind as its new leader, she declines. She’s got enough to worry about!
But her refusal allows someone else to step forward, a magician with dangerous plans for the League. This challenge sparks the start of the Great Game, a competition to decide who will become the Night Brothers’ successor and determine the future of magiciankind.
The Great Game is both mysterious and deadly, but among the winner’s magical rewards is Quinton’s last hope—so how can Amari refuse?

I sprint down the sidewalk, flying past designer boutiques, luxury shops, and a fancy art gallery. A few blocks ahead lies the sprawling downtown campus of Whitman Preparatory Academy.

She reads aloud, "International League of Magicians." Then flips it over, where tiny writing is inscribed:

AGAINST ANY MIRROR TO
REACH THE LEAGUE STEWARD

Q: Do you have a favorite reading nook?
A: Anywhere that's comfortable really. I live in a condo, and don't really have a dedicated place to read.
I'm another condo dweller without a dedicated reading nook. But I enjoy reading wherever I can.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting sounding book.
ReplyDeleteI read on my sofa in the lounge - we are open plan downstairs - so kitchen, lounge, dining area is all together. No nooks for me either!
Have a great weekend!
