Dark Waters (Flame and Blade #3)

As dark waters churn all around them, can they trust their new companions?
Lady Anette Scarvian has spent her entire life inside her family's decaying estate hiding her wildmage powers and waiting for her chance to see the world. When her uncle wakes her in the dead of night and sends her to the distant city of Mayhaven to find her brother Vethe, Anette discovers the world outside of Raven's Wing is nothing like her story books. And finding her brother will be far more difficult than she could have imagined.
In the city of Mayhaven, the Citadel has declared Lyria Guardia dead, but Lyria's brother Gaul isn't so sure. Although if he can't trust the Citadel, his Guild's most lucrative employer, Gaul wonders if he can trust anyone. Especially when a mysterious, beautiful noblewoman shows up at the Guard's Guild and begins asking questions about the man the Citadel claims killed Lyria: Lord Vethe Scarvian.
On a distant island, Vethe and Lyria escaped the sinister Citadel with their lives and nothing else. Now the wildmage and the guard find themselves stranded with a group of outcasts who are dangerously suspicious of both the noble-born Vethe and Lyria's family history with the Guard's Guild. Can the former lovers trust their new surroundings? And can they even trust each other?
