The Winter Mage (Legacy of the Lost Mage Book 1)

Five hundred years ago, the Purge nearly erased magic. Now one relic proves it survived and could make the world fear it all over again. Kadaris has spent her life chasing the remnants: lost spells, forgotten books, hidden teachers, and every dangerous lead that might bring her closer to the power the world tried to destroy. She knows more about lost magic than anyone at the castle. When reports of old magic reach the court, she finally has the chance to prove that knowledge matters. The trail leads into the mountains, where she discovers an ancient artifact tied to the vanished power of the Arcana. And she isn’t the only one looking. Some would kill to claim that kind of power. Others would bury it so deeply no mage could ever touch it again. In a realm where mages are tolerated but never trusted, Kadaris must stop the relic from giving the world an excuse to finish what the Purge began. If you loved the determined heroines and dangerous, half-understood magic of Godkiller and The Unspoken Name, enter the world of Winter Mage.
