Dear ,

I hope you've had a good start to the year and that 2026 is bringing you everything that you hoped for.

It's been a long time coming, but I'm happy to announce that The Betrayal of Magic is nearly here.

With the Royal Mage tightening his grip on the throne, Alice Harper is determined to uncover the truth behind the king’s death. Her search draws her deep into the shadows of the court, where secrets are harder to ignore – and impossible to walk away from.

If you enjoyed Torvia's POV in The Cost of Magic, she's also a POV in this book, fully trained and pursuing South Parsan goals in the North. Prince Darien's power is growing... and Alice fears magic is twisting him into something dangerous. Could she be wrong about him?

In just one month, the book will be available on Amazon. If you'd like to read it early, ARCs are available on:

• StoryOrigin
• Booksprout
• Via my website

Let me know what you think of the cover!

As always, here are a few promotions:

Happy reading,

L. J. Evias
