Light & Dark

The Black Bonded

By: D. M. Fife

Narrated by: Mikhail Roberts

Danny Firoth returns home from a magical, yet deceitful, summer at the White Rock Academy of Illumination, only to face a new terror, high school. However, the woes of the school's halls are quickly forgotten when Danny is summoned to the high Council of the Elvin Elders in Elsmelda, the capital city of the Elves. Danny learns that being the Light's prophesized savior, the Mageknight, comes with a fancy new title and massive new responsibilities. Distraught with trying to meet his new station's requirements, the loss of his father's Bonded, and the perplexing relationship with his infatuation, Sabrina Drake, Danny is tested even more as a second-year squire. Danny and his friends are placed center stage as they are presented with Bondeds of their own, weapons of great magical power, and inducted into an army, competing in mock warfare for the grandest trophy of all, the Chalice of Light. Amid these responsibilities, Danny is confronted with a question of trust among the Order of Light. To unravel the more profound mystery of the Mageknight, he must solve the foreboding plan of his betrayer, Syndil Sartak Tribolari, in the Kinslayer's search for a weapon that could bring about the end of the Light and all living things, The Black Bonded.

Light and Dark: The Black Bonded is the second book in the Light and Dark series, a sequence of epic-fantasy, adventure novels that cater to those with imaginative minds, a love of fearsome dragons and heroic knights and squires, magic, sorcery, super-powered sword-wielding action, and thrilling adventure. The work is populated with engaging characters, urban settings of fiction and nonfiction locals, and a magical cast of races, ranging from Elves, Dwarves, Dragonics, Angelics, Gods, Creators, and Bondeds, weapons of great power that are forged from the essence of previous Knights and Squires of the Light.
