The Veil Chronicles, tome 3 : Stolen Magic

Résumé

It only takes one to upset the balance of magic.

The magical barrier known as the Veil is all that stands between our reality and the Otherworld. Those with the gift of magic can pull energy through it to perform miraculous feats of power. The Inquisitio opposes these mages, who have organized themselves within the Society for Psychical Defense. The world of magic is shaken by the awakening of a wild mage, a woman capable of manipulating the Veil itself. She has the power to either eradicate the Inquisitio or rob the mages of their abilities. Only one side can win and it will be the side that gets to the wild mage first.

Viktoria Wagner hasn’t always been the prototypical Inquisitio member. For one, she was born with the ability to channel magic and she spent much of her teenage years exploring her powers. A good twenty years and a few hard lessons later, Viktoria has only her high position within the Inquisitio left. She abandoned her magic in the hopes of pleasing her father, who has long since passed away.

When the wild mage manifests, it falls to Viktoria to hunt her down in the knowledge that the Inquisitio might have forgiven her youthful transgressions, but they will not forgive another. Viktoria either brings the wild mage before the Court of Judges, or the Wagner name will be disgraced, and Viktoria will go to any length to prevent that from happening.
