A series of strange encounters, and her relentlessly curious nature, lead her into the woods where she meets a destiny that has been chasing her since birth. She is brought into a world of demons that is fraught with turmoil and deadly power struggles. Lord Balthazar, a demon prince trying to hold his new kingdom together, seizes the opportunity, taking her hostage in a bid to gain the power he so badly needs. Alexandra’s strong-willed, defiant personality not only gets her into heaps of trouble, but also manages to gain the unlikely affections of the handsome demon prince that is holding her captive. As time begins to run out for both of them, sacrifices must be made. By the time they realize their true desires, it may be too late. less

As Alexandra searches for answers, she learns how quickly friends can become enemies. A world she tried so hard to leave now calls her back, starting her on a journey that will change her life forever, again. The Magi are stronger than ever, but as Alex soon discovers, help can come from the most unexpected of places. Difficult decisions must be made, and everyone will have to make sacrifices.

With the pressure off, and the Magi a world away, Alex begins training for the inevitable. But trouble soon rears its ugly head as unexpected side effects from the bonding with Balthazar kick in. The demon lord isn’t immune to the changes, and as he tries to cope with gaining a decidedly too heavy conscience, as well as the loss of his kingdom, he fails to notice the shift in Alexandra until it is too late... moreWith the pressure off, and the Magi a world away, Alex begins training for the inevitable. But trouble soon rears its ugly head as unexpected side effects from the bonding with Balthazar kick in. The demon lord isn’t immune to the changes, and as he tries to cope with gaining a decidedly too heavy conscience, as well as the loss of his kingdom, he fails to notice the shift in Alexandra until it is too late. Without Balthazar to rule over the kingdom of Devas, a brutal civil war ensues that rocks the entire world of demons as all nations choose a side. If Tavi isn’t able to stop Ashdad and his Magi created army, Alexandra may have even more problems on her hands than the changes going on inside of her. less
