The Arcane Odyssey
The Codex
The deeper Magic & Lore archive of The Awakening — its workings, symbols, artifacts, powers, factions and prophecy, gathered in one place.
Magic & Workings
How magic behaves in this world, and what a practitioner is actually doing.
Magic Listens Back
Magic was once a partnership rather than a weapon. Zamaria must learn not to command it, but to listen to it.

Celestial councils on one side, shadow courts on the other — and one marked girl standing as the bridge between them.

Worn at the throat, glowing with a soft steady light — until something in the world goes wrong.

Marcus Zephyr’s Journals
A missing father’s handwriting, glowing with a warmer and more familiar light than anything else in the attic.
