The first book in a new series that follows a young woman destined to destroy every edict her people live by and the boy who would do anything to be accepted by his. Journey along in a spellbinding story of conquering fear and overcoming love as they become Mages By Chance.
Maeryn 'Mae' Darnes is a young woman torn between two worlds…life or death. She has watched her siblings slowly wither away just like all the others blighted by the cursed Darnes bloodline. Now its the two youngest that will be dead within days.
Desperate to find a cure Mae does the unthinkable and breaks her family's code of honor to practice dark magic. If she can find the cure and convince a band of rogue relatives to join her cause, she might even be able to activate the most powerful casting ever seen.
But in her attempts to circumvent her elder's powerful rulings, Mae stumbles upon a plot to prolong the suffering of the afflicted. Now she not only needs to throw off the yolk that bounds her to her family, but carve out the darkness that is hiding within.
Blood and family have always been a constant in Mae's life, but as the wasting sickness is being masterminded for other's desire, Mae becomes determined to risk everything to reveal the truth. No matter the cost.
My Review:
Wow, I really enjoyed this book! It does take place half on one day, and the rest on another, basically, but yeah, it's so fast paced and so enjoyable! I really enjoyed reading about Mae and her family and her adventure, and I can't wait to read her future adventures!
So this world is different. This is the first series in the Universe, and events that happen in this series, and the others, are the ones that shaped the world we know in the Courtlight series, which is the longest series within in this world at the moment. So because those events haven't happened yet, this world is different.
Mae wants to save her siblings lives, even if it means diving into the dark side of magic, magic that is banned for females in her family. We didn't explore why in this book-but it sounds like we will in the next. Which I can't wait, what she can do sounds pretty spectacular and uncontrollable!
The ending was pretty intense, what with the strange group that seemed pretty diabolical! I want to know more about what they were doing, and have Mae and her gang stop them! Can't wait to see how things are going to go from here!
This book was so amazing, and I can't wait to read more!
