Never underestimate the power of a desperate witch.
The Central Network is at war.
And Bianca Monroe may be the only witch desperate enough to save it.
With her home entrenched in conflict and teetering on the edge of destruction, eighteen-year-old Bianca is determined to defeat Miss Mabel’s powerful Almorran magic. Her best hope lies in finding the Book of Light, an ancient source of power that could change the course of the war.
But even compassion can become dangerous in Alkarra.
During an attempt to save a burning orphanage, Bianca finds herself caught in a trap. Miss Mabel kidnaps her and takes her far from the Central Network to the hot sands of the Western Network, where nothing is as simple as it appears.
Mabel is more dangerous than ever.
More powerful.
More unhinged.
And Bianca is running out of time.
To survive, Bianca must face the cost of compassion, the limits of forgiveness, and the terrifying reality of what it means to stand against a witch who will destroy anything to get what she wants.

Bianca, Derek, Stella, Merrick join forces with the other Networks to battle against Mabel and her dark magic. Twists and turns abound.
This series is rich with action, suspense, love, life and death. Character development is superb and the story line is well thought out complete with life lessons the reader can take with them. Most excellent.
And the plot thickens! It was nerve recking to not be able to read a gazillion words per second! Hahaha Read this book so fast and need more! Great book Katie!
I just finished War of the Networks and the entire Network Series. Oh My Goodness what an incredible journey! I cried a lot, laughed a lot, had some suspicions confirmed and loved them completely. Fantasy has never really been 'my genre' but I took a chance because I do love magic and I'm so glad I did! These books are so great and Katie has a great mind. She keeps you wanting more and more and to not put the book down until your eyes can take no more. I encourage you to read ALL of her books, you will never be sorry!!
This book was an incredible rollercoaster of emotions. I felt like I was right there in the Witchery with the group. I laughed with them, feel in in love with them, cried with them and healed with them. I don’t want to say goodbye to the network!!
