About this ebook

After countless trials, Lucian has collected multiple Orbs, and has almost proven himself to be the true Chosen of the Manifold. Only one person stands in his way: Xara Mallis, the Psion of Darkness.

Lucian is not ready to face her. With each Orb he gains, the Shadow that follows him grows ever stronger. Lucian can't risk it becoming fully formed. He puts his quest for the Orbs on hold and sets his sights on the Mako Academy, hoping the masters there can teach him how to defeat Xara Mallis while preventing the inevitable Joining.

While Lucian is seeking answers, the Psion of Darkness is making her own play. And unlike Lucian, she has no qualms about using the dark powers of the Shadow Lord. She has not given up the title of Chosen and intends to fight to the death for it.

Only Lucian can contest her. But this will require rising above his own self-doubt, and defeating the phantom force haunting him...

Ratings and reviews

The stakes continue to get higher for Lucian and his friends as he heads towards his date (or battle) with destiny. From battling new (and old) enemies to being trained by a Sorcerer, there's never a dull moment. It's another great addition to the series and I can't wait for the Siege of Earth, especially with the cliffhanger this one ends on....

Outstanding! Full of action! Number Seven in the Starsea Cycle will give you a big problem....you won't want to put it down! I almost read it straight through. Lucian and his friends have been through some real trials but the worst is yet to come. Xara Mallis has the last two orbs and she is not about to give them up. Lucian is the only one that can challenge her for them. She claims to be the Chosen of the Manifold and so does Lucian. Can't wait until the next book!

Xara and Lucian meet again in this thrilling book 7 of the series. Also, the full history of the Starsea Mages is at last revealed, providing answers to those questions that I've been wondering about. You don't want to miss it!
