The White Forest (Mages and Kingdoms Book 2) by Cara Coe

When Amelie fled her kingdom and traveled into the White Forest, she didn’t know what to expect. With her role as a spy put behind her, she is free to explore her mage roots. But no one can run away from the past and when it calls to her, Amelie knows she must go back. Seth’s grief over losing Amelie feels like a bottomless pit and he doesn’t know if he can climb out. But when Candor is faced with civil war and Claudia is on the verge of losing the throne, he knows Amelie would want him to help. Little does he know Amelie is still alive and when she returns, everything shatters. Friendships are tested, sisters are pitted against each other, and the ache of lost love is unbearable. It will take Amelie and Seth new strengths – both mage and human – to overcome the obstacles. This book contains some mature themes and situations and is intended for mature audiences.
