For Claudette and Emile Borde, living in the city of Ayres and working on their parents' farm has never been enough. Influenced by stories of the past, in which magic was real and the dragons still lived, the siblings have always dreamed of leaving their city behind and embarking on their own adventures. But as squires training to become full-fledged knights, they must renounce magic, for it was magic that nearly tore the world apart during the old wars.
When the carnival comes to the city, Claudette meets Aeonia, and the two become fast friends. But Aeonia is no simple girl playing at fortune telling-she can wield magic, and it's both breathtaking and volatile. Torn between upholding her duty as a squire and keeping a secret for her friend, Claudette must decide where her loyalties lie. Is this the adventure she's always craved, or is she dooming her city and her loved ones by remaining silent?
Set in the same world as The Fading Dusk, By the Morning Light is a brand new adventure by author Melissa Giorgio that sets up the third book in the Smoke and Mirrors series.

You follow each brother and can easy relate to how easy it is to missunderstand and for a child like miray to try and voice her thoughts and feelings. I can only say one thing this book is a gem ❤️ Thank you for putting time writing this book one i will keep rereading ❤️Complete

Through Light and Shadow
Aveline never expected to find herself in a world like Elarion-vast and brimming with magic beyond her understanding. Called to a land of ancient mysteries and hidden dangers, she must navigate the unknown, uncovering the truth of her own power along the way. But magic is not just a gift-it is a force that shapes destinies, forges alliances, and ignites wars. As Aveline journeys across Elarion, she will meet those who guide her, those who seek to use her, and those who fear what she may become. Friend or foe, light or shadow-nothing is ever as simple as it seems. To survive, Aveline must embrace her strengths, face her weaknesses, and carve her own place in a world that may never accept her. Her story is one of magic, growth, and the choices that define who we are. And in Elarion, every choice has consequences. ~ Hi! This is my first fantasy book, and I hope you enjoy it!
