Publisher's Synopsis
The old world order clings savagely to control. Battling to usher in a just society, will a traumatized couple triumph over cruel autocracy?
Angie Forester aches to end the masses' suffering. Though battered, bruised, and heartsick, the determined young woman refuses to let the brutal ruling magic class regroup and reassert their sadistic stranglehold. Resorting to blackmail and threats, she forces the scheming puppet masters to elevate her beloved to greater power and sets up a deadly confrontation. Daniel Fawl sees secrecy as safety. Disguising his true intentions under layers of subterfuge, the careful manipulator leaves nothing to chance in his war against the nemesis who makes his life a living hell. But though every step he takes moves him closer to his goal of bringing down the twisted status quo, the cunning air elementalist fears those he holds dear will be caught in the crossfire. As deportations and massacres plague the land, Angie reels from a betrayal that may cost her the man who fills her heart. And even as Daniel gathers talismans to defeat the patrician order, he feels unanchored and reckless in the face of dangerous odds. As each decision compromises their ideals, will they become the very thing they fight? A Mind of Smoke is the breathtaking third book in the Unlocked contemporary romantic fantasy series.
