The Innocent Mage
Karen Miller
In the kingdom of Lur, magic is a privilege of the ruling Doranen, a harsh law forbidding its use by the native Olken population, punishable by death. Centuries after fleeing a devastating war, the Doranen maintain control, but a prophecy speaks of an Innocent Mage who will save Lur from impending destruction. Unbeknownst to Asher, a stable hand with dreams of a better life, he is the subject of intense observation by those who secretly preserve the Olken's forbidden magic. As destiny calls, Asher's world is irrevocably altered, thrusting him into a role he never imagined and a conflict that will determine the fate of the kingdom.

The Awakened Mage
Karen Miller
In the climactic finale of the KINGMAKER, KINGBREAKER saga, Prince Gar wields newfound weather-working magic, and Asher ascends to unprecedented Olken power, seemingly securing peace for Lur. However, the malevolent sorcerer Morg, though physically broken, plots a desperate gambit from his shattered form. Gar and Asher are unknowingly ensnared in a treacherous deception that jeopardizes the kingdom's stability and the delicate truce between the Olken and Doranen. As the true identity of the Innocent Mage is unveiled, the consequences will shake the very foundations of their world, leaving no one, not even Dathne and her clandestine Circle, prepared for the ensuing chaos.
