Illusion - Paperback

by Aurelia T. Evans (Author)

Arcanium's greatest illusion is that there's any illusion at all...

When an old flame returns to Arcanium in the company of her own magical circus, Illumina, offering an alliance, Bell initially considers the merger an opportunity for much-needed change.

However, with Illumina comes Maya, who has lost her memories not just of Locke's Arcanium but all her time with Bell-love, guilt, wishes, everything. Having her memories removed leaves Maya with too large a gap in her mind that she's desperate to fill, and she knows that Bell, of all the people in Arcanium, can give her the information she's missing.

Bell still loves Maya and spends every day trying to atone for the pain he caused her and the rest of his cast. In spite of her frustration, she's happiest without him, without the memories that once nearly destroyed her. If Illumina is to become part of Arcanium, he has no choice. He has to keep his distance, because she doesn't know why she should run as far away as she can from Arcanium-and from Bell.

Even so, resisting Maya is almost too much for him to bear.
