The Ruinous Curse: Apadora Rising

Book 2 of The Ruinous Curse

After saving the western lands from the wicked sorceress Alesta, Prince Barrett and his companions return to a grieving Westmore. The king is dead, leaving the prince his sole heir. But just before the young wizard is crowned, the power-hungry Bureau of Mystical Affairs intervenes to usurp his throne.

The Bureau outlaws magic, declaring Barrett and his company enemies of the people. As the friends prepare to flee, Alesta’s ghostlike vision appears, begging for rescue from Apadora, who holds her captive in the Outerworld.

Confined for ages in a magical prison, Apadora personifies the heart of wickedness. Unfortunately, her escape is closer than imagined, placing Mundanes in grave danger. Even now many forces, including Barrett and company, race to find the key which could free the ancient sorceress. 

Orphaned, homeless, and hunted, the exiled prince must choose between reclaiming his kingdom or restraining the evil tide poised to sweep across the western lands.
