Wounded Magic

Book excerpt: Magic can heal the fiercest wounds... or cut them even deeper. Rocío Lopez and Finn Lockwood survived the deadly trials of the Mages' Exam in a bid to keep their magic. But the world outside presents vicious threats of its own. Forced into the Confed's military special ops unit, Rocío must walk a fine line between complicity and resistance, or everyone she loves could pay the price. With the magic's pleas growing increasingly urgent, can she make her stand in time? Stripped of his talent, Finn is determined to fight the corrupt magical government—and to find his way back to the girl he's fallen for. When his new mission clashes with his family's legacy, how many people will he have to betray? Revolution is brewing. And as enemies rise at home and abroad, both Rocío and Finn will be caught in the crossfire. Picking up where the acclaimed Ruthless Magic left off, Wounded Magic delves deeper into the alternate modern-day world of the Conspiracy of Magic series. Prepare for a thrilling, heart-wrenching ride.
