The Serpent's Grasp - Ben Mann

When Magic Changes Everything, Who Can You Trust?

Adventure. Deception. Betrayal.

Just as Penn and his friends are settling into life in Bastion, they are reminded that magic isn't the only dangerous thing out in the world, and that they are not alone in surviving the magical apocalypse.

As strange abilities continue to emerge and Bastion's safety grows increasingly fragile, Penn must decide who deserves trust in a world where every choice can reshape reality itself. Because the greatest danger may not be the monsters roaming the wilds...but the people who think they know how magic should be used.

The journey into a newly awakened world continues in the second book in the Spectralux Series.
