The Magian Series | Book 3

The Spell Keeper

Zuri Abayomi doesn’t need her nation’s eccentric oracle to reveal her destiny.

She’s going to become the general of her father’s armies whether she likes it or not. But not even she can go against tradition. On Zuri’s coming-of-age day, the oracle sends her on a strange quest, far away from her people and into the territory of their sworn enemies.

Find the serpent slayer and the one who would never be king. Give them what’s inside the Oracle’s mysterious little box. Discover her destiny. But her path looks nothing like she imagined.

When dark magic brings to life an evil sorceress and her shadow griffins to terrorize the Griffin Vales and bring about a civil war that’s been brewing for centuries, Zuri must set aside everything she thought she knew and take up the ancient magic of the Spell Keeper.

And, for once, she can’t do it on her own. It’ll take the help of another magic wielder, a nun-turned-treasure hunter, an ex-order captain, their motley crew of pirate friends, and—by far the worst—the prince of the nation she’s been trained to destroy.

Yet their efforts won’t be enough to defeat an evil sorceress and stop the destruction of both nations if Zuri can’t find a way to heal a past she’s fought hard to forget in order to unlock the magic that’s always been inside her.

The Spell Keeper, Book 3 of the Magian Series

Jabari loves three things – books, mountain climbing, and long baths. As the second-born prince of the Aerian kingdom, he doesn’t have much to worry about. Getting kidnapped by a bunch of pirates, one of whom has godly pirates, was not something he could’ve anticipated. 

Jabari loves three things – books, mountain climbing, and long baths. As the second-born prince of the Aerian kingdom, he doesn’t have much to worry about. Getting kidnapped by a bunch of pirates, one of whom has godly pirates, was not something he could’ve anticipated. 

So, with all these ways I could painfully be killed, why am I still here?

He had an answer, unfortunately. He couldn’t bear to live in a world without his brother in it. He wanted his future king to be able to unite their beautiful homeland filled with beautiful people on both sides of the mountain. He wanted the name Kosan to invoke respect instead of fear. When historians recounted this battle, he wanted their tale to be one of hope, victory, and new beginnings. Those were the stories his world needed.

So, let’s give them a story where I don’t die in the end.

Reviews

This book blew me away! The first two books in this series were phenomenal, and this one didn’t disappoint. McGriff knows just how to ramp that tension from 0-100 and keep you on the edge of your seat! Another series that is highly recommended.

Super fun and I laughed all the way through. Jabari made me laugh the most. If you love Indiana Jones or Pirates of the Caribbean, this is surely going to keep you entertained. The author brings back some of my favorite characters from books 1 and 2 and then introduces us to more characters with even better shenanigans, treasure hunting, and bravery-testing and ticked all the boxes for me for a relaxed, entertaining read that would be perfect at a beach
