Lightkeepers (Tales of the Five Realms #3)

2025 | Science Fiction/Fantasy

Hagar Wixey is back at Vanar University, and she’ll be a master mage soon if all goes to plan. But things are different. Not everyone returned for the third year, and even after the fog lifted, there’s a gloom that won’t shift. Hagar begins investigating signs of demonology in the University, but it won’t be long before she’s out of her depth…

Ortense and Rollo are now married, but wedded bliss falters as Ortense is challenged to leave Vanar and take on a new role. It all feels like bad timing and she’s reluctant to go. And then an enemy from her past appears, eager to settle scores. Meanwhile, Rollo is on an emotional rollercoaster of his own, and in danger of falling back into the grip of an old obsession…

Before long, one member of the Order of the Lightkeepers will betray them all and their very existence will be imperilled. Outside the city walls, a dangerous journey into the Disputed Land beckons, and a race against time to catch a traitor and escape their enemies. The prize is possession of a lost legendary artefact that might be the answer to their problems. Or it may just be the beginning of something much worse…
