The Only Sorcerer 5 (Mage Academy)

Killing the avatar of a deity should have granted Thomas some much-needed respite.

Instead, he is thrust straight into the fires of a savage border war, watching in horror as a horde of magically shackled beasts decimates a Luthenian outpost. Alongside Veronica and Vulky, he manages to turn the tideonly to realize the attack is just the opening salvo.

To uncover the sickening reality behind Virillias campaign, Thomas must navigate an ancient, lethal bridge designed to grind intruders to paste and infiltrate deep into hostile territory. What he unearths is a conspiracy far more sinister than anyone in the kingdom feared.

With time running out to save Maria from her deadly curse, Thomas sets his sights on the secluded Elven Kingdom of Elvandar. Accompanied by Veronica, Vulky, and a famished shadow panther named Cypher, he must secure the rare Jolberry Fruitthe final ingredient for the cure. But the elves yield nothing easily, and the price they demand is far more intimate and dangerous than Thomas ever bargained for.

Curing Maria only exposes a shadowy threat far larger than a single kingdom. As a brief moment of peace dissolves into sudden chaos, Thomas and his battalion are forced toward a dangerous new frontier: the forbidden dungeons of an unfamiliar land.
