A prophesied savior with insomnia
An egotistical mage apprentice
And a quest to defeat an immortal


Now that Chelsea finally knows what their quest is, she almost wonders if she was better off not knowing. She and her friends have to set out to defeat an immortal emperor by finding a country that will declare war on him and help them dethrone him. Which is much easier said than done when you'''re just a bunch of modern teens trapped in a magical world.

However, this time they have an advantage: Marius’s understudy. And he has a plan to separate them and send them off to make allies. Paired off with Easton, Chelsea heads to a kingdom of dragons and dark secrets. Where Easton apparently has a claim to the throne… one that could get them both killed.

Meanwhile, Bobby finds herself having to work closely with the troublesome mage Percival and a grumpy, sick Clint as they seek out vials of dark magic that they will need to complete their quest.

They are so close to getting home, but first these two best friends will have to…
—Survive undead kings and very alive emperors alike
—Figure out what to do with the troublesome brunette boys in their lives
—And survive long enough to get home (without catching Clint’s cold)

And through it all, they are left asking the question… are they meant to be saviors, soldiers, or sacrifices?

The Mage’s War Saga is a YA portal fantasy series with echoes of Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, the Wizard of Oz, and King Arthur. Set in a vibrant world of decaying magic, this series is full of humor, whimsy, sweet slow-burn romance, and stepping into your destiny whether you want to or not.
