Melody of Mana 5

Political plots, kingly coups, and unexpected affairs keep bardic mage Alana on her toes in the fifth installment of this character-driven fantasy series. Since waking up from a terrible accident on Earth to find herself in the Kingdom of Bergond almost twenty years ago, Alana has faced more than her fair share of challenges. Most recently, she’s been commissioned by Emperor Durin to set up a magical portal that will connect the capital city of Ermath to the far northern reaches of his domain in Linden. Only, the journey to Linden is plagued from the outset. It seems someone knows about the mission and will do whatever it takes to prevent its completion. As if that weren’t enough, Alana’s Earthly past seems determined to catch up with her—with potentially catastrophic consequences. Now, she’ll have to untangle a tricky conundrum of time and space to get the gates operational, all the while contending with shadowy threats to her safety as well as dangerous rumors that could expose her otherworldly origins. Filled with metaphysical puzzles, dangerous escapes, irresistible relationship drama, and fascinating courtly intrigue, Melody of Mana 5 is a page-turning conclusion to this tightly plotted isekai series.
