Synopsis

Leopold Berry was certain he'd been chosen to save Sunder — and he was wrong. After flunking his channeler test and being thrown out of Sunder in record time, he swore he was done with magic, until a trail of clues left by his late mother led him back in, and to a ring that may be the most powerful object in magical history.

Now Leopold is stalked by paparazzi, hunted by government agents who want the ring, and pursued by creatures hungry for its power. With Emmet and Isabel beside him, he has to learn to wield it before someone kills him for it — and use it to uncover his family's buried connection to Sunder, in a city built on illusion where he cannot be sure who to trust.

Sunderworld, Vol. 2 concludes the duology begun in Vol. I.
