Simple and Iron Flower for Women

Critically acclaimed author Laurie Forest's sweeping sequel to The Black Witch sees the rise of dark forces. Elloren Gardner and her friends, seeking to right a few wrongs, rescued a Selkie and freed a military dragon, only to find themselves thrust into a realm-wide underground resistance against Gardnerian conquest. As the Resistance struggles to fight back against the harsh rulings of the Mage Council, more and more Gardnerian soldiers, led by Lukas Grey, commander of the nearby military base, descend upon the University. Though Elloren tries to keep Lukas at arm's length, he is determined to tie himself to her, still convinced that she is the heir to the power of the Black Witch, a legacy of magic that will decide the future of all Erthia. As his own magic calls out to her, seeking to awaken a dark force within, Elloren finds it more and more difficult to believe that she is truly powerless, as her uncle always claimed. As she navigates the dangerous line of insurgency, Elloren must find a way to stay true to what she knows is right and protect everyone she loves, even if that means protecting them from herself.
