This is week 3 of 4. You don't have to start at the very beginning of every book, but you might at least want to start at the beginning of the chapter with week 1 for the recap. PREVIOUSLY ON THE ALDONN CHRONICLES: Frankie was a simple orphan thief who never had a last name, a member of a guild that preyed on people like her, vulnerable people without anyone to look after them. They took her in, and trained her to be amazing at what she does, but they then betrayed her to the guards and had her locked away. It was in prison that she met a strong blonde man by the name of Aldonn, a man without any memory of his past. Together they escaped back to the capitol city of Capsin, where they’ve teamed up with a disgraced guard named Edward, disgraced for sleeping with the King’s daughter Princess Penelope, and they have been working with him to slowly bring down the guild that betrayed Frankie, and stop their power hungry leader Lee Durgens with a little help from Frankie’s old guildmates Richter and Sean. Meanwhile King George, ruler of Capsin and the surrounding country of Memroxia , has been getting increasingly frustrated as his kingdom has continued to stagnate. Diplomatic relations have been falling apart, and he’s decided to turn to the wisdom and guidance of the Mage Council. However, Princess Penelope believes the mages have a secret agenda of their own, and that they might not have her father’s best interests at heart. When she learned, alongside Frankie, that Lee was turning his attention to the Mage Council, they both entered the Mage Tower with warnings of an impending attack. Their warnings we’re not taken seriously, except by an apprentice named Calvin. Ordered by his master Elmeiser Ducard to watch the Princess, he instead helped Penelope shut down a sex trafficking ring involving children and love potions, rescuing prisoners that included Leah Ducard, daughter to Calvin’s master and a burgeoning mage in her own right. But while Calvin was rescuing his master’s daughter, Master Elmeiser was experimenting with a legendary amulet he’d stolen from the Thieves Guild. An Amulet that guild leader Lee Durgens wanted back. With the help of disgraced mage Dawson they have been able to infiltrate the mage tower along with his loyal sister August Durgens, his second in command Bart Napier, and a squadron of his loyal men. Lee managed to confront Elmeiser just as his men set off an explosion that has sent the tower into chaos. ----------------- My name is Andrew Geczy.
