The Fire King and the Battle Mage — B. Pine

Age Island is free of Eastern occupation. The elusive Coven begins to emerge. The necare grow stronger. The war against the East begins to take a turn. And yet the world is more dangerous than ever.

Age Island's situation has caught the attention of a powerful country and it's enigmatic leader. Referred to as the Fire King by his subjects, King Thane has kept Canas out of the Eastern conflict, but now seems concerned with recent events. A popular king and experienced warrior, his motives are unknown. But it soon becomes clear that he will not ignore the changes going on at Arcanum and Age.

Meanwhile, an old friend returns. Hedi is now a Battle Mage, and more powerful than ever. But will she help Jamu keep Age Island safe, or will she follow her heart and search for Rohen instead?
