War is coming . . . Intense student battles, Shona's manipulations, and even the deadly fight to the death against an elemental monster couldn't keep Connor and Verena apart. Now all he wants is to outrun trouble for a while. That's less likely than Hamish refusing dessert. Even if he can reach Granadure, can Connor trust them? If war breaks out, will Verena and her country force him to fight for them against his homeland? He tried dying for a good cause once. It didn't work out so well. Affinity for War takes the epic adventure, the relentless humor, and the unique magic of No Stone Unturned, throws it in a pressure cooker with gallons of chaos, seasoned with porphyry-induced insanity, and boils it to explosion. WARNING Do not pick up a book by Frank Morin unless you love amazing stories with great action, mind-blowing magic, side-splitting humor, and insights into the human condition that will bring tears to your eyes. You risk finding your next favorite author and losing several days of sleep, so consider yourself warned.
