Second year at the Hundred Halls was supposed to be about proving your magical worth. For Iona and her friends, it becomes a fight for survival.
The Second Year Games promise glory—and the coveted Elixir of Knowledge—but when students start turning up dead in the middle of supposedly protected spaces, the competition warps into something far more dangerous.
While the rest of the Halls clamor to win, a forgotten horror stirs beneath the Obelisk, devouring dreams and twisting reality. As accusations mount and the line between illusion and truth shatters, Iona and her friends must navigate betrayal, bloodshed, and brutal challenges that test more than just their magic. Because winning the Games might grant them knowledge—but surviving it will demand everything. And releasing what lies beneath may be the biggest mistake they’ve ever made.
RUTHLESS, the second urban fantasy novel in the Coterie of Mages series by Thomas K. Carpenter.

A murder in the French Quarter pulls the Larue sisters
into a battle where truth lies, love betrays, and every spell carries a cost.
When a beloved New Orleans restaurateur is murdered, the Larue sisters are drawn into a deadly game of magic, secrets, and betrayal. Hannah’s truth-sense falters, Bess falls under a haunting compulsion, Bridget speaks with the dead, and Scarlett discovers her cooking can conjure more than flavor. But their every move feeds into Lucindor Darkthorne’s twisted scheme—one that thrives on stolen souls. As alliances shift and enemies circle closer, the sisters must stand together or risk losing more than their lives. Can they outwit a foe who has already bound them to his dark design?
