Three Murdered Mages, Two Broken Bonds by Hiyodori (Author)

Shortly after the events of Clematis and the Queen of the Void, a mysterious letter lures Clem and Wist to a grand estate. The very same manor where Wist was raised by a clan of backstabbing, power-hungry mages.

When it comes to magic, Wist surpasses her entire family put together. Still, she’s never outclassed them in terms of calculated cruelty or raw ambition. Clem stands a better chance of untangling their machinations. But as a guest in enemy territory, without any magic of her own, she risks becoming Wist’s one fatal weakness. Threatening her would, after all, be the easiest way to drive Wist to murder.

Clem has other unfinished business at the manor, too. Mage-healer bonds can only be broken by death. She’s still determined to change that—to rescue a bonded healer she previously failed to save. Yet before liberating any of the healers tied to Wist’s family, Clem might end up in dire need of rescuing herself.

Three Murdered Mages, Two Broken Bonds is a mystery-tinged story of an established sapphic couple grappling with the secrets of a devious mage clan. Although their faith in each other never wavers, their oldest opponents have always been lurking right there in Wist’s childhood home.
