Nation of the Stars

The Pagans may have retrieved Raina and Callie, but the Templars won't let them go without a fight. To achieve their aims, both the Pagans and Templars need magic, so they race to secure the first demon Adept sighted in a generation. As the Pagans focus on reforming the Registerium and transferring Callie to their nation, demons from other nations disappear without a trace, and the Registerium is too preoccupied to help. The politics is fractious, and the Pagans must tread a careful path, convincing those who would normally vote against them to come into the fold.

But that's easier said than done when some call for the Registerium to be disbanded entirely, the Templar nation becomes erratic, and the West Coast finally shows its true colors. But Raina and Caspar have waited too long and been through too much to let their enemies tear them apart. They will find a way to be together, whatever it takes.

Nation of the Stars concludes the Ancient Souls series. Past and present are about to collide, and only the strongest will survive.
