Armed & Magical

by Lisa Shearin

Penguin Group USA, Inc | May 1, 2008 | Mass Market Paperbound

New from ?a definite star on the rise.? (LINNEA SINCLAIR)

My name is Raine Benares. Until last week I was a seeker?a finder of things lost and people missing. Now I?m psychic roommates with the Saghred, an ancient stone with cataclysmic powers. Just me, the stone, and all the souls it?s ingested over the centuries. Crowded doesn?t even begin to describe it. All I want is my life back?which means getting rid of the stone and the power it possesses. To sort things out, I head for the Isle of Mid, home to the most prestigious sorcery school, as well as the Conclave, the governing body for all magic users. It?s also home to power- grubbing mages who want me dead and goblins who see me as a thief. As if that?s not enough, Mid?s best student spellsingers are disappearing left and right, and I?m expected to find them. Lives are at stake, goblins are threatening to sue, mages are getting greedier, and the stone?s power is getting stronger by the hour. This could get ugly.

    Great 2nd Book

    Cassay

    13 months ago

    Raine's sassiness continues in the second novel in the series. Raine's not only has herself to protect while in the Isle of Mid, now she has to keep Piara's safe who is turning out of be the strongest spellsinger. To add to Raine's troubles she finds herself in a love triangle with Tam and Mychael.

    We find out some of Tams mysterious past which seems to make him hotter and Mychael's protectiveness of Raine makes me gush over him. Once again Lisa keeps her humour and action which keeps the books paced nicely.

    Armed & Magical is a nice middle to the series it prepares for the main dilemma Raine must overcome and gives a bit more background information on minor characters.
