Although Linden is now a Master Mage, she’s struggling to adjust to her new duties. Her advisors are more concerned with keeping her safe than listening to her warnings about the dark magic gathering along the borders.

But that all changes when a fay scout delivers shocking news: Mordahn has returned from beyond the grave. Even worse, he’s discovered the ancient places of power, which are fueling his war machine.

Linden must team up with Mordahn’s arrogant nephew to destroy the places of power—but will they be able to save their homeland before it’s too late?

If you love warring kingdoms, strong, sassy heroines, and slow-burn clean romance, discover Serving Magic, a complete epic romantic fantasy series for fans of Shari L. Tapscott, Kenley Davidson, and Melanie Cellier.

It was a great book!

Quite a few twists and turns in this book 2 of the series. I would definitely read book 1 first. I love falling in love with all the characters even more in. This book. Some characters…can you trust them or not? That’s up to you to decided! I listened to this book on Audible, 1.5 speed was perfect for me. Thank you for another great book!

Really good continuance of a great story!

I really enjoy and appreciate how Cabell structures her books, they fit nicely for those who want slowburn but those of us who are impatient also get the payoff in the book too. It's a very good stopping point between each book in the series where I really want to read the next but it's not this awful cliffhanger that destroys you as you wait for the next book.
Things progressed nicely in this story, the characters achieved some goals. However, I'm not sure I'll ever forgive Cabell for the character whose story ended here. It broke my heart and I had to pause the narration to fully take it in.
I absolutely adore the romance blooming in this story and think it's a better, healthier romance. I also loved the plot twists you see come to light by the end. I'm really intrigued to see how the story will end!

An Old Enemy Returns

I thought book two was as entertaining as the first book in the series. I felt for Linden as she struggled with her new role as Liege, with her advisors who wanted to keep her safe, and her abilities which warned that dark magic was growing in strength. I liked the twists and turns. I enjoyed the camaraderie of Linden and her friends. I was entertained by the scenes of battle. I thought Lisa Lynn Sandlin's narration was good, and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Loving the character development

As Linden continues to uncover her family’s history & how it leads into the current ongoing war. Plus she is basically now the Queen of the Fae! So as she is making personal discoveries & trying to end the war she has all this new responsibilities. I definitely don’t want to be in her shoes. It definitely had more magic & creatures & life threatening experiences. I enjoyed continuing the series.
