About the book
Grey Flynn has dedicated her life to her mage, Kier. She will be his blade on the battlefield, his healer and protector. The deep well of raw power inside her is Kier’s to wield. They are bound together by blood and magic, but there is one truth Grey dare not reveal … not even to Kier. When a quest to protect the child of an enemy kingdom pulls them into a dangerous mission, Grey will need to decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to protect her secret. For Grey is no ordinary magical well, and if she dies, all magic dies with her. The Second Death of Locke is the first in a collection of interconnected standalones set in the same world.

“loved the yearning, the atmosphere, and the twist on the classic "grow into yourself and your power" story beat!”
“I've read some real bangers this year so far. Emotionally tolling, for sure, but awesome nonetheless. Picked this up (by way of bullying my local librarian) after a couple of friends were raving about it, and it did not disappoint. I was sucked into the story immediately. I think the two party magic system created for this world is unique and engaging. Honestly, my favorite thing about the book was how well it was fleshed out, and the focus (at least for the first half, when you really do need to be learning things about the world) was not on the romance. BUT SPEAKING OF ROMANCE. Is it hot…”
