The Silver Pear

An unlikely princess . . .Kayla is determined to master her new-found abilities as a wild magic witch.

Mirabelle is nothing like a usual sorcerer, confounding every expectation, and when she comes to the rescue of Rane's brother, Soren, she makes a decision few sorcerers would. She saves him, rather than herself, losing the silver pear in the process.And using magic always exacts a price . . .With war not just a possibility but simply a matter of time, there are no neutral parties and no fence-sitters in Kayla and Mirabelle's new world. Everyone is either an ally or an enemy and there is a price to pay for everything. The question is, how high will it be?The Silver Pear is the sequel to The Golden Apple, and together they form The Dark Forest series.
