In the second book of The Lynburn Legacy, Kami and her friends are battling the evil sorcerers in her hometown of Sorry-in-the-Vale. They discover more information about the many families who are sorcerers. Members of the families of Kami’s friends are against them in their battle to prevent the sorcerers from making human sacrifices to gain power. Kami is still trying to figure out her feelings for Jared and Ash. She works with both of them in their quest to stop Ash’s father from taking over the valley.
This is a fast paced story, threats are used to make some of the people help the sorcerers in their evil work. Kami’s brother and Jared’s aunt, the real heir and ruler of the sorcerers in Sorry-in-the-Vale, are kidnapped and held as hostages to be used as the evil sorcerers want. Jared frees Kami’s brother, and his aunt, only at the peril of his life. He is locked up with the dead body of his aunt’s suitor who vanished many years ago.
This series needs to be read in sequence to see how Kami and her friends save Sorry-in-the-Vale.
