Second Book of Elita
The Enemy, the Ally and the Angel of Darkness have been named ... and the prophecy of the Key is coming to pass, promising chaos and destruction for Lusara and its people.
The Enemy is Robert Douglas, the new Duke of Haddon, banished from the Enclave by the Key, for he will neither bow to the will of the ruling council, nor will he use his sorcerous powers to overthrow the usurper King Selar. But he cannot rest content at Dunlorn, for his reckless brother Finnlay, believed dead by most of Lusara, has left the sorcerers' hidden colony and is headed straight for trouble.
The Ally is Jenn, now returned to her family and learning to Live the life of a noblewoman, whilst using her own powers secretly to help those disobeying the Guilde's punitive new laws. Then Lusara's Queen asks her aid, and Jenn must once again call on Robert and the Bond they share.
And the Angel of Darkness masquerades as a Guilde Alderman, using his position close to the King to foment his own malevolent plans for Lusara - and the Ally. A sorcerer of immense power, descended directly from the maker of the Key and the Word of Destruction, he seeks both artefact and spell, the one to enhance his own powers, the other to wield...
Caught against the human face of prophecy, the Enemy, the Ally and the Angel of Darkness must each face their own greatest weaknesses. Voice of the Demon is the second Book of Elita, a glorious fantasy epic in the bestselling tradition of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.

The Third Book of Elita
…and the Word of Destruction was raised against the Angel of Darkness and his army of Malachi as they lay siege to Elita...
When Robert Douglas wielded the Word, the sorcerer Nash was grievously wounded, his Malachi army destroyed and Elita almost razed to the ground.
Robert, reviled the length and breadth of the land as a sorcerer, has not been idle in his exile: he has been raiding the Guildehalls, repositories of what few texts on magic there are, to find ways to keep the Prophecy from destroying all he holds dear.
Jenn, though kept virtual prisoner by Teige Eachern, her brutish husband, has had the solace of her son Andrew as he grows ever more in his father's image.
But times are changing: the usurper, King Selar, plots to spread his iron rule even further, coveting Mayenne, his brother's kingdom. Eachern plots to send Andrew from his mother so he can subdue his young, unwilling bride even more ... and Robert plots to raise an army and free his beloved country from the dual threat of Selar and Nash, the Angel of Darkness. Black Eagle Rising is the Third Book of Elita, Kate Jacoby's epic of political intrigue and sorcery. ‘Inventive stuff’ Line One
