"Magic is different in the Dread Lands. Magic is deceptive in the Dread Lands.
At last, the Dread Prince takes the throne and begins to develop his own army while battling the darkness that still lurks in the ancient and deadly Dread Lands. Maeve is grieving a great loss as Mal slips into darker and darker Magic, driving a wedge between them. War looms with the other realms, and Maeve and Mal question the dragon-shifting High Lord of Aterna's loyalty to their cause."
"'Maeve crossed the hall between them with confidence. In three short steps, she stood before his throne. A decaying skull broach appeared on his own breast pocket. The final piece of his Dread Mark. She and Abraxas were the mouth and the sword. He was Death incarnate.'
Dark Magic comes at a cost, but Maeve Sinclair is willing to sacrifice more than just her Magic in exchange for freedom. She is the only witch with the ability to jump through minds. She and her magical world live in hiding on Earth, desperately waiting for the rise of the prophesied Dread Descendant. While praying for this Prince of Darkness to return them to their ancient home realm, the humans wage wars that threaten magic's very existence on Earth. When an unlikely friendship with Malachite Peur blossoms at the most prestigious magical academy in the world, the pair discovers that together they could be unstoppable."
