The Broken Spell series continues with an elemental power-up and a royal mission that flies sideways fast!

A magnificent announcement. A mysterious call. A magical promise.

It’s been three months since Mallevia croaked and Brave is grumpy. True’s taken off, he has no friends and his mom refuses to answer important questions. What’s worse, his elements are misbehaving. Being a prince sucks! So when a shock announcement hurls him back into the spotlight and strange threats arise, he’s forced to call on new friends for help.

True is learning to live with wings and a tail and loves the freedom to fly, but her family doesn’t approve. Desperate to escape their selfish plans, she accepts the royal court’s offer, only to discover an impossible task clouded in secrets. How will she survive the countless dangers of the unknown?

Elsewhere, the country rebuilds in the wake of the fake queen’s dark deeds, and in a hidden corner something nameless and loathsome awakens.

An Element of Magic is the second book in The Broken Spell series; an early-young adult epic fantasy exploring the boundaries of an uncharted world and the friendships that make it magical.
