Volatile: Large Print Edition: 3 (Reactive Magic)

Seventeen years ago, it all began…

Ursula longs to be seen, but her controlling father casts a shadow hard to escape. When her parents start a magic school, it looks like Ursula’s chance to shine. But someone is draining magic from the students, and all their victims are in danger.

As those around her slip under the thief’s control, can Ursula gain the power to fight back, or will the magical drain turn deadly?

Volatile is the third book in the Reactive Magic series. If you like darkly magical tales, life or death drama, and a little bit of danger, you’ll love this fast-paced series.
