title: The Black Mage: Apprentice (The Black Mage Series) (Volume 2)
author:  Rachel E. Carter 
description: <b>Praise for Rachel E. Carter&apos;s USA Today bestselling<i>The Black Mage</i>series:</b><span><br /><br />&quot;It takes a lot for me to truly fall in love with a book. I think I maybe do this once or twice a year. This is one of those times. I found a new fantasy story that sucked me in (completely). Imagine my surprise that it was YA too. Y&apos;all know me. Normally, I go for the NA and above reads. But this series...it just has that something &quot;extra&quot;. That extra punch that drags you in and won&apos;t let go. I hope you give it a try. It&apos;s THAT good.&quot; -<b><i>Scarlett Dawn, NYT &amp; USA Today bestselling author of Forever Evermore</i></b></span><span></span><br /><span></span><br /><span>&quot;A magical academy where potential mages train and study all things magic, a love-hate relationship with an arrogant prince, and a determined and unyielding female heroine? Sign me up.&quot; -<b><i>Raisa Santos, TheFandom.Net</i></b><br /><br />&quot;Falling somewhere between the magic of Hogwarts and the excitement of Hunger Games, this story resides in the niche rather nicely!&quot;<b>-<i>Margaret Faria, InD&apos;Tale Magazine</i></b><br /><span></span></span><div><br /><span><span>&quot;An intriguing story with enthralling characters that shine brightly in their determination and fierce pride.&quot; -<b><i>Michelle Lynn, Young Adult Books Central (YABC)</i></b><br /><br />&quot;This has undoubtedly become one of my favorite YA fantasy series. Hands down, no competition.&quot;<b>-<i>Melissa, EverSoMela, top Goodreads reviewer</i></b><br /><i></i><br />&quot;Rachel E. Carter has a definite fan in me forever, keep doing what you&apos;re doing Rachel because you write an amazing story!&quot;<b>-<i>Emmeline, The Book Herald, top Amazon reviewer</i></b></span> </span></div>
