Star Mage

Some magic should be forbidden.

Reunited safely in Panar, Miara, Aven, and their friends have conquered more obstacles than they thought possible. The Akarian Assembly has accepted Aven and his magic--and Miara as his queen. But the problems for Akaria and its freemages are only beginning. One ally has vanished. Another teeters on the edge of death. And a third will face a choice between duty and love.

Meanwhile, the Dark Master has marshalled the combined power of Mage Hall and Kavanar's army. He's closer than ever before to his goals: destroy the star mage and his magic, recapture those who've escaped, and seize all of Akaria for himself.

With the true, terrible potential of magic unleashed, no one can predict what destruction will be wrought. The struggle for the freedom of mage slaves culminates in all-out war in this third and final volume of the Enslaved Chronicles.

"A world worth exploring..." — Ear to the Ground Books

"These books lifted me up, helped me smile and fanned the small flame of hope in my soul." — Pat Stiff, Reader

"Star Mage is the epic conclusion to the Enslaved Chronicles trilogy. The war has begun. New enemies, brutal tactics, and shrinking odds of success. Our heroes struggle against the army marching from the west and the enemy plotting from within their own halls. This story also raises ethical questions and impossible choices; weighing what is right against what is necessary; duty against desire. Who can be trusted? Who should be saved? Who should be sacrificed? In all the drama and chaos, Thorne still finds room for levity and humor. Combine these elements with varied and interesting characters, and it all comes together into a deliciously layered apple dumpling of a book." — Steve Martinez, Reader
