Publisher's summary

An enemy kingdom. A powerful prince. And an Academy for mages.

To stay alive, Verene will have to uncover her hidden power.

Verene is a disappointment to her entire kingdom — the first royal ever born without power, despite her mother being the most powerful mage in history. So when she's sent to the Academy in neighboring Kallorway to forge ties with her people's traditional enemies, she's determined to succeed and prove she can still be of value to her kingdom.

Prince Darius of Kallorway is the strongest mage in his family — and the only reason his weak father is still clinging to his throne. Starting at the Academy at the same time as Verene, the crown prince is cold and distant and shows no desire to connect with her. Instead, he seems suspicious of both her presence and her claimed lack of power.

Surrounded by unfamiliar politics and long-held enemies, Verene discovers that some at the Academy want her gone by whatever means necessary. As the threats grow ever more sinister, she starts to question all of her assumptions. The hardened prince might just be her best hope of survival and — even more shockingly — he might be right about her power. But as danger grows in the shadows, Verene isn't the only one in danger. If she wants to save both her old kingdom and the new one she's starting to love, she must uncover her hidden powers and take her true place among the mages.

If you enjoy strong heroines, fantasy worlds, adventure, intrigue, and clean romance, then try the Hidden Mage series now.

Hated to have it end

Absolutely loved this series!… and the one before it, which was The Spoken Mage. Though presumably written for a young adult audience, I found it very appealing as an adult and loved the narrator voice

It gets good in book 3

The story starts off a little slow, book 3 kept me going and I knew I had to finish the series. Good for a young teen but could have been 1 book total.

Excellent series and great narration!

Love the series and it’s predecessor series and companion novel. The narrator does a great job too. Only issue is chapter 89 (chapter 3 in book 4) is out of order. It goes from 88 to 90 then back to 89, then to 91 and continuing in the right order after that. So be sure to skip forward then back as you listen, otherwise it’s very confusing.
