The Masque of the Silver Prince

Rhoswen Riddle

Elowen Blackwell never wanted to be a hero.

Eighteen-years-old, shy, bookish, and marked by her lightning-shaped birthmark of an Electromancer, she arrives at Sorcering University—the legendary college for Magusland’s gifted—hoping to study and graduate to become a Sentry, the guardians of Avalon.

But when a student is found dead at the bottom of the Dueling Tower, Elowen is thrust into a world of danger, forbidden romance, and Senate intrigue that runs deeper than the university’s dungeons. The ancient Deadman’s Staff has been stolen, and whispers claim seven souls must fall to awaken its power.

As corpses mount and loyalties splinter, every shadow hides a threat and every secret could be her last. And when a half-elf classmate discovers Elowen’s hidden bloodline, the secret threatens to destroy them both. Torn between longing and vengeance, he nearly kills Elowen during an Acolite match, and the line between love and hatred begins to blur.

Survival may demand the one thing Elowen has never dared to push too far… her power.
