A terrible secret. A vengeful empress. An unstable empire.
Sir Corbin, retired Hero of Jerkum Pass, dies on the eve of an urgent mission. Rumors of evil magic threaten his family. His granddaughter Kelsa dons the old man's armor and wrinkles to investigate the capital. The city is in an uproar. The emperor has been slain by rogue mages. The new empress is livid. Now, every mage is suspect, including Kelsa's mother.
Hidden behind her mother's enchanted ring, Kelsa infiltrates her grandfather's regiment. The bonds between retired army mages and cavalry have already begun to crack. Kelsa finds herself trapped in a pit of tangled plots and lustful adventures. The disguised hero struggles to wield Corbin's shining legacy while the regiment splinters around her. The deeper she ventures into his shadow, the more tarnish she uncovers. Can Kelsa save anyone before the vengeful empress and Corbin's sordid past expose her?
Unravel The Knight's Secret, the first epic fantasy intrigue of The Mage Conspiracy series. Discover a dark world where love and lies cut deeper than any sword.

A magical twist on an old trope drew me in, but the sheer number of misused words and misspellings kept kicking me out. It wasn’t a horrible story but felt like a set-up for the “real” adventure. It was free but didn’t convince me to pay $5 to find out what happens next.

Interesting plot and characters
Good book
Very interested story with a complex, multilayered storyline that has you guessing about what small interaction might turn out to be very important to the story later on all the way through the book. The characters are complex and often have multiple motives for their actions and the world they live in is an interesting blend of magic and technology.
