The White Spell

The New York Times bestselling Nine Kingdoms Saga continues as a reluctant hero and a seemingly defenseless stable maid team up to fight evil...

Acair of Ceangail, youngest bastard son of the worst black mage in history, has wreaked havoc throughout the world and left powerful enemies in his wake. After a year of reparation, he owes a final bit of penance: twelve months spent working in a barn without using his magic.

Léirsinn of Sàraichte understands horses, stable work, and how to judge men’s hearts. When she starts seeing shadows where there should only be light, she knows there is evil afoot. Unfortunately, it’s something she can’t fight on her own.

Acair’s attempts to aid Léirsinn only draw the notice of dangerous mages against whom he is currently defenseless. Soon Acair and Léirsinn find themselves suddenly in a race to save the world before it’s consumed by darkness...
