This is just a bonus, unedited scene in Prince Darren's POV for Apprentice, The Black Mage Book 2. In the actual book, the scene is told in Ryiah's perspective. And no, I can't promise I'll do this again for more scenes, this was just a bit of fun :) Would you like to read more? Buy the books here: www.rachelecarter.com/series/the-black-mage
