In a world where magic is both a gift and a curse, five teenagers are bound by an ancient prophecy that could unravel the fabric of reality—or save it.
Sam Sevres never asked to be special. Life at Candentis Academy was already complicated enough with exams, mysterious classmates, and his overbearing stepmother’s secrets. But everything changes when Sam stumbles upon a sinister artifact hidden in her room: the Seal of Obsidian , a cursed grimoire that seems alive with unholy energy. The book refuses to leave his side—literally. No matter how far he throws it away, it always returns, as if tethered to him by fate itself.
Soon, strange occurrences escalate into something far more dangerous. A rogue witch ransacks his home searching for the book, while another cryptic visitor warns Sam of its apocalyptic significance. Then there’s the matter of the Blood Quintet—a mythical group prophesied to either restore balance or unleash chaos upon the TriWorld Annulus. When Sam discovers that he and his closest friends may be part of this fated quintet, their lives spiral into a deadly game of magic, betrayal, and survival.
As Sam delves deeper into the forbidden knowledge within the Seal of Obsidian , he begins to uncover latent powers buried within himself—and his friends. But wielding such power comes at a cost. Each page they turn brings them closer to understanding their roles in a war between gods: Oebiel, the creator who seeks order, and Satharchon, the spirit of chaos determined to drag the world back into nothingness. With time running out before the Taurunox meteor shower—a celestial event tied to the prophecy—the stakes couldn’t be higher.
But not everyone wants the Blood Quintet to succeed. Amonette, a ruthless sorceress fueled by vengeance and dark magic, will stop at nothing to claim the Seal of Obsidian for her master, Satharchon. Her methods are brutal, her motives twisted, and her sights set squarely on Sam. As alliances are tested and enemies close in, Sam must decide whom to trust—and what kind of legacy he wants to leave behind.
With danger lurking around every corner, one thing becomes clear: the choices Sam and his friends make will shape the destiny of their world forever.
The clock is ticking. The lines between friend and foe blur. And sometimes, the greatest battles are fought not against monsters, but within ourselves.

In what can be described as ‘The Magicians’ meets ‘Crooked Kingdom’, Asher Sharol returns with a cleverly crafted sequel to the Bonds of Chrome Magic: A spellbinding tale with a story line of magic, love, and betrayal that holds your attention.
Following a harrowing few months at Candentis Academy, Sam and his friends have been invited to the NOX REGIA magical school of Sorcery and Metaphysics. Being members of the BLOOD QUINTET, the five children are burdened with the impossible expectation of saving the Triskai from prophesied destruction. But they have to stand united, which proves difficult as murderous forces work to pit them against each other. Tony, one of the five, winds up at the gothic IMAJINAEREUM, a rival magical school that teaches forbidden magic. And as the apocalyptic darkness rises from the deep, one of the five finally cracks.
Binds of Silver Magic is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Laini Taylor, and Luanne G. Smith.

The third instalment in the Blood Quintet Series, “Souls of Dark Magic” delivers a riveting continuation of the cliffhanger ending of "Binds of Silver Magic".
After being tricked into leaving the magical haven of Nox Regia, Sam and his friends re-enter their community of Hargreave Hollow only for tragedy to strike immediately. However, the ill-fated friends barely have time to mourn as they find the place shrouded in deep, preternatural darkness. Furthermore, every non-magical being is either missing, or dead. All of these occurrences point to one thing: the apocalyptic Veil Rapture has begun, and its symptoms match Seer Sybel’s prophecy to the devilish detail.
The dark god, Satharchon is rising from the underworld, bringing with him permanent death and eternal oblivion. Sam and his friends know that staying together is crucial for delaying the shape-shifting god of chaos from devouring the concept of consciousness. But with one among them already dead at the hands of another, what hope exists of defying the prophecy of the Veil Rapture, saving themselves and the Triskai at large?
