Three of Magic

Three girls. Two secrets. One unwanted bond.

Military service is compulsory in the four surviving domains of a declining, but extraordinary enclave. Eighteen-year-olds march to the front lines to save what remains—some burning to fight, others desperate to avoid it.

Aramus Mastri, has never met a fight she can’t win or an obstacle she can’t break—except for unlocking the rings of power that sit on her hands. Tazen Gin, collared and cursed, has never met a fight she hasn’t lost. Isini Farren, desperate to hide forbidden powers, faints at the sight of blood.

Prodigy, Pariah, Pretender.

Forced together and desperate to achieve their own goals, they train inside the dangerously shifting universe of an illuminated manuscript. Working together means sacrifice, rivalries spell death, and every secret demands retribution. And when the monster under the bed becomes the girl training at your side…every dance might be the last.

As dark rumors concerning the wall separating their world from ruin stir—and both military and monstrous gazes turn their way—they must decide: stand together, or fall alone?

⭐ Three of Magic is the first book in an epic trilogy. For readers who love power trios with “Ride or Die” female friendships like KPop Demon Hunters, Girl Musketeers, or Powerpuff Girls.

What is the Pentalayerverse?
This is the five layer Earth that all Anne Zoelle books inhabit (so far!). As Will explains in The Awakening of Ren Crown, “In the Split, four magical layers identical in geography to the first were created directly on top of this one, using most of the world’s available magic. Leaving this—the First Layer—a normal, non-magical safe haven for people without magic abilities. Course, that was three thousand years ago, so most places look different between the layers now—due to weathering and construction by different species and kingdoms.”

Who inhabits the layers?
1 = non-magic layer for humans and animals
2 = stable magic layer for mages
3 = stable/unstable magic layer (depending on time period) for mages and beings
4 = stable magic layer for creatures, beings, beasts
5 = unstable magic layer (traverse at your own risk!)

Where do the books take place?
* The Ren Crown series is a current day story that mostly takes place in the Second Layer (with jaunts to the First and Third).
* Tender of the Garden takes place in the Fourth Layer, also in the current day time period.
* The Scepter series takes place in the Second and First Layers of Ancient Persia (600BCE).
