Last Descendants Trilogy series.
A generation after the monarchy was restored in Malonia (a parallel world to modern-day England), magic is dying out. The Imperial Order threatens to reinstate the military rule that was so brutal in The Eyes of the King. Despite its long-windedness and vague world-building, the fantasy's large-scale sensibilities may draw readers into this second book in the trilogy.
