Catalyst (The Second Cycle #1)

JADE. A criminal. A liar. The best dressed. She’s got plans and they don’t include love, magic, or the potential end of the world.
DIAN. The ambitious Legionnaire, a rising star, molded for success since birth. His life is under control and going exactly as planned. But is it a life he even wants?
ALDON. His only means to be useful is behind a desk. A young politician with an earnest sense to do what is right. If he only had the means.
FEL. A powerful chanter who’s getting real tired of terrorism. Where do you go when the world fears your power? Join the villains, I guess.
HAVINNIA High Queen of Vacua. Her word is not to be questioned. Except that she has very little control over what she can say. The pressure might kill her before the apocalypse does.
Enter Liore, a world of enchantments and secrets. Enchantment is a science and the real magic is the chanters, a powerful new breed of human viewed with fear and suspicion. Liore is spiraling toward ruin and the five nations have tough choices to make. It’s the beginning of the end. Can anyone hold on to their goals? Will they want to?
