The third instalment in the Blood Quintet Series, “Souls of Dark Magic” delivers a riveting continuation of the cliffhanger ending of "Binds of Silver Magic". After being tricked into leaving the magical haven of Nox Regia, Sam and his friends re-enter their community of Hargreave Hollow only for tragedy to strike immediately. However, the ill-fated friends barely have time to mourn as they find the place shrouded in deep, preternatural darkness. Furthermore, every non-magical being is either missing, or dead. All of these occurrences point to one thing: the apocalyptic Veil Rapture has begun, and its symptoms match Seer Sybel’s prophecy to the devilish detail. The dark god, Satharchon is rising from the underworld, bringing with him permanent death and eternal oblivion. Sam and his friends know that staying together is crucial for delaying the shape-shifting god of chaos from devouring the concept of consciousness. But with one among them already dead at the hands of another, what hope exists of defying the prophecy of the Veil Rapture, saving themselves and the Triskai at large?
