What to expect
When her best friend, Dīcărĕ, gets kidnapped by a shadowy organization, thirteen-year-old Alaĕna Bombyx declares war.
Being a Latin Magician, Alaĕna has the fantastic ability to use Magic, which is bad news for annoying principals and Defense Against Măgī Latīnī (D-A-M-L) Agents alike. Since the Damsels, as Alaĕna mockingly calls them, snatched Dīcărĕ two years earlier, the young magician has been honing her skills to save him.
Alongside her close friend Bartholomew and some new extraordinary companions, Alaĕna is ready to storm the enemy’s gates. But the mission is no longer just about saving her best friend. The D-A-M-L has been systematically wiping out her kind. If the Damsels think they’ll be able to defeat this group of marvelous Magicians—and Bartholomew—they’ve got another thing coming. Death is coming, and Alaĕna’s bringing it.
