The Broken Dragon Mass market paperbound - 2014

by Irene Radford


Summary

Full of life and energy, Lily has great ability with plants and their healing properties, but no magical talent. In contrast, her beloved twin sister Valeria has unmatched magical abilities, but is frail and often ill. Since birth the two sisters have completed each other, but the older they become, the more apparent it is that magic is taking its toll on Val.

Together the sisters embark on a journey to solve Val's magical problem, and along the way to meet their mentors, the girls encounter several other magic users also struggling with severe weaknesses. However, before they can reach their destination, their caravan is overtaken by a dangerous magical storm, conjured by a rogue magician bent on revenge

In the storm the sisters are separated, and unless they can unite this eclectic group of magic users—who must all overcome their individual weaknesses— and find each other again, this rogue mage could prove the end of Coronnan.
 

From the publisher

Glenndon, raised by the witchwoman Brevelan and Jaylor, Senior Magician and Chancellor of the University of Magicians, has now been established as the son of King Darville and heir to the throne of Coronnan. But there is still much unrest within the realm. Both old and new enemies are plotting to overhrow the king and seize control of Coronnan and dragon magic. Even as attacks come from unexpected sources, Jaylor is forced to send his twin daughters on their journeymen missions, escorting two noble ladies to their far-distant homes. Though Lillian and Valeria have never felt complete without one another, they will soon have to travel separate pathways to see their ladies home. Lily is robust and has an affinity with plants and their healing properties but no recognized magical ability. Val has an unmatchable talent and like Glenndon the imagination to work magic in unusual ways. But using magic costs the spell-thrower physically and Val is frail; she needs to find solutions to problems without drawing too heavily on her talent. Caught in a vast spell-created storm that spreads chaos from the heart of Coronnan City to the caravans the girls are traveling with, can all the scattered children of Jaylor and Brevelan find the means to save both the kingdom and their family?
