    About this audiobook

    In this spellbinding sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Last Magician, Esta and Harte set off on a cross-country chase through time to steal back the elemental stones they need to save the future of magic.

    Hunt the Stones.
    Beware the Thief.
    Avenge the Past.

    Esta’s parents were murdered. Her life was stolen. And everything she knew about magic was a lie. She thought the Book of Mysteries held the key to freeing the Mageus from the Order’s grasp, but the danger within its pages was greater than she ever imagined.

    Now the Book’s furious power lives inside Harte. If he can’t control it, it will rip the world apart to get its revenge, and it will use Esta to do it.

    To bind the power, Esta and Harte must track down four elemental stones scattered across the continent. But the world outside the city is nothing like they expected. There are Mageus beyond the Brink not willing to live in the shadows—and the Order isn’t alone in its mission to crush them.

    In St. Louis, the extravagant World’s Fair hides the first stone, but an old enemy is out for revenge and a new enemy is emerging. And back in New York, Viola and Jianyu must defeat a traitor in a city on the verge of chaos.

    As past and future collide, time is running out to rewrite history—even for a time-traveling thief.

      I reas a review saying the book was confusing. I do not think so. Time lines and action were very clear as long as you read the 1st book. I enjoy the story line, but i do find 1 of the main characters annoying. The dialogue seems like soap opera interaction sometimes "i love you, no i don't, yes I do, no wait I don't" type of stuff. Also I find the writting a bit too repetitive. I'm now tempted to count how many times i heard "in an unknown language that somehow he understood" overall i did enjoy the book. These little details didn't frustrate me enough to stop listening.

      WoW. Just wow. I have heard Lisa Maxwell state that this book kicked her butt when she wrote this, and now I see why. With the twist and turns and con after con. If you do not pay attentoon, you will get lost. However, I'd you do pay attention, you will thoroughly enjoy this extension to the first book. U now understand why she said she couldn't make this into a duology. I really loved this book, and that's not because my favorite character had a major role, Viola.
      Fantastic job , Mrs. Maxwell.
