Left out from the action...

After her cover was blown and her power failed her on a case, Sabine Holden sulks on probation at the Academy. The last thing she needs is to go on another case, but since she's been an agent, being idle and doubting herself is not something she can do. When she's unexpectedly partnered with him, she throws herself into the assignment. Her faith in her mind-bending power is an obstacle she doesn't want to face, but there's no way she's going to be cast off to the sidelines anymore. Not when a war is coming, and especially not when Lorcan Wright thinks to head off on this case without her.

Finally empowered...

With his elven powers restored, there is nothing to hold Lor back from fighting Rogues for the Academy. Being paired with the girl he fell in love with six years ago, he aims to ignore her and focus on the case-to help his friends figure out once and for all why danger follows them. Now knowing that magiquaine elves can cast spells, and realizing shifters wait inside a cage at the Menagerie, he has no business worrying about Sabine's feelings for him after all this time. As they are tasked with seeing to the safety of the remaining targeted elf elders, pieces begin to fit together in a big picture of peril.

But strongest together.

Not one but two enemies are hell-bent on fighting the magiquaines. Unless Sabine and Lor can compromise with each other and create a new way to work as partners, it seems they'll lose their chance to end this battle for power-for good.
