RADIANT

Overcoming prejudice and joining forces are the only things that will help the rebels defeat the Benefactors of Magus.

After trying to expose the Benefactors as manipulators who have systematically driven out or captured Mentalists (practitioners of Yellow Magic), Ava and Elm have gone into hiding. A band of Ava’s classmates have joined them, but their learned distrust of Mentalists is deeply ingrained, leading to tense confrontations that threaten to divide them. Adding to the drama, the romance between Ava and Elm is rocked by the appearance of a girl from Elm’s past. But when the Benefactors attack their hideout, the group unites. In a daring escape, they break through the barrier surrounding Magus and find refuge in a peaceful city where they must make a decision: sink into tranquility or train for the fight. Readers must have read the first in the Color Theory series (Vivid, 2022) to follow the action, but devoted fans will lock in for the roller-coaster ride as the somewhat racially and ethnically diverse band returns to Magus, where they’re joined in an epic battle against the Benefactors by an unexpected group of allies. Gentle romance, emotional reunions, painful betrayals, and historical insights add nuance to the story. The most surprising discovery is saved for the last, promising another fascinating chapter to come.

Captivating.
