In Fracture, the third book in Xander Boyce’s Red Mage series, sixteen-year-old Vianna returns to her home country of Amarillia after spending two years living in exile. Her goal is to find her father—the man who killed her mother and brother and left her for dead when she was just fourteen. But instead of a warm welcome from the kingdom’s rulers, she finds herself arrested and thrown into prison. Vianna must escape prison if she wants any hope of discovering the truth about what happened to her family—and saving Amarillia from destruction. Along with fellow rebel Rafe, she sets out on a dangerous journey through hidden tunnels and forgotten cities, plunging deeper into secrets that have been long buried alive.
