“You possess a power as great as that of the false Empress. You do not understand it yet but you will come to learn its true nature. It is the only match to true evil. You doubt it, but you must embrace it or you will fail.” When Carey Lee discovers that not only is she a witch but also part of a rebel order, she figures it can’t be any worse than the life from which she just escaped. Little is she prepared though for what lies ahead - an all-powerful empire and a murderous Empress, a seemingly impossible quest to rescue her family, and a power so dark that Carey begins to doubt her very existence. The Order of the Rose is the first in a series of three novels to be known as the Rose Chronicles.

_A prophecy fulfilled. An empire defeated. The Order victorious. If only it were true. A darkness looms and Carey Lee finds herself being drawn back into danger. Bound by the whims of a powerful man determined to procure her magic for his own, the odds are firmly stacked against her. Yet Carey must fight to stop him before he carries out his devious plans... Or risk losing everything._

"Courage..." Determined to stop Saar from enacting his nefarious plans, Carey is faced with an impossible choice. With darkness pressing in on all sides, the question is this - what is she willing to sacrifice in order to win?
