Beatrix considers herself the right amount of paranoid. Keep moving. Pay cash. Avoid the Knights of the Faith and stay off other mages' radar. This time, though, she isn't the only one she has to worry about.

For the past three months, she's been teaching William everything she knows about magic. He's become the kind of company she didn't know she was missing.

Neither of them expected what his first ritual would unleash.

Suddenly Beatrix is running harder than she ever has, from crumbling loyalties and forces older than the world itself. She's survived most things. She has the scars to prove it. But while she keeps her eyes fixed on what's in front of her, William is hiding something he should never have had to carry alone. The longer she chooses not to look, the more it will cost her when she finally does.

Whispers of the Unbound is the second book in The Booktamer Chronicles, a new adult alt-history fantasy perfect for fans of high-stakes action, morally complicated characters, and Ancient Egyptian mythology.
