Books like Apprentice (The Black Mage Book 2) by Rachel E. Carter
Ryiah has survived a harsh trial year at the Academy of Magic, but the true test begins when she joins the Combat faction, the school’s most notorious division. Over the coming four years she must journey across the realm of Jerar, train under a master she despises, confront her old nemesis Priscilla, and navigate a fraught relationship with Prince Darren—reliable ally, rival, or something more? The looming war turns her lessons from theoretical practice into life‑and‑death preparation. Ryiah’s apprenticeship is nothing like she imagined, and it will demand more than skill: courage, loyalty, and a willingness to fight for her world.
