The Mage of Monrovia

An apprentice of the mage they had destroyed earlier,
now threatens Inherian once again. But when Mexia arrives at Langdon to become
school trained, she learns the school will not permit a woman to attend. But
she must destroy the mage’s apprentice, and she cannot do so without the
training. She must use the magic she has learned to discover a way to defeat
the apprentice before it is too late.

Mexia has already done much more than most
school-trained mages when she and her companions had gone in search of the
scepter of salvation. But now one of the apprentices of the evil wizard they
had destroyed, has stolen his spell book and plans to take up where he had left
off, and she has to try and stop him.

Mexia believes the only way for her to defeat the mage
is to become school trained like he was with the eventual goal of becoming a
high wizard—the first of her kind in Inherian. But the current headmaster
denies her entrance because she’s a woman. Though if she can get the former
headmaster’s recommendation, she may attend.

And that’s the beginning of the trouble.

First, there’s the wizard

Then, the immovable headmaster.

And then, the circle of misfortunes.
