WIN an ARC of #6 THE SEER, Magician's Muse

It's been nearly 3 years since the last THE SEER book came out (FATAL CHARM). That was the longest of all books -- before my pubisher limited my word count to around 60,000 words. I crammed a lot of characters and plot into FATAL CHARM because I thought it would be the end of THE SEER series.
