Light is Found in Every Hue

Magus is dying from the inside out, and only the destruction of the barrier can save it. Even color magic can’t defend against earthquakes, strange weather patterns, and erratic wildlife behavior.

After discovering hundreds of captive Yellow magic-users, Ava and Elm fight to set them free. However, new dangers and unexpected enemies await at every turn, forcing them to face their greatest challenges yet. The calamities inside the barrier slowly manifest in the outside world as well, pulling citizens from both sides of the battle into the fray. In this new war, they may not all make it out alive.

Elm and Ava must confront the growing darkness and create a future in a world that has been all but stripped of hope. Can Magus be restored, or is it already too late?

More from Ashley

Sitting down to write the final installment of the Color Theory series was an emotional experience. I wanted to do well by my readers and do well by God. And of course, I wanted to stay true to the story I set out to write in the beginning.

One of the difficult things about writing this book is that I knew the characters were going to have to face higher stakes and deeper pain than ever before. Given the situation they are in, it had to be that way. But, in spite of what Ava, Elm, and crew will face in Chromatic, this is ultimately a story of hope and triumph.

As I’ve watched the struggles of the world right now and seen what so many readers are going through, I knew I wanted to tell a tale of perseverance. No matter how bleak our circumstances may be, we can still find the light.

I hope you enjoy Chromatic!

My Review

After reading the first two books from The Color Theory series from Ashley Bustamante, Vivid and Radiant, I was curious to see what was to come in the third installment, Chromatic. Ava's continues with another adventure with her friends. I believe I enjoyed reading this one the most of the three books. I never knew what would happen from scene to scene. It was full of action and adventure. I thought it was a satisfying conclusion to the series. I'm sad to say goodbye to these characters.

I am giving Chromatic four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading young adult fantasy. I would be interested in more releases to come from Ashley Bustamante in the future. 

I received a digital copy of Ashley Bustamante's Chromatic from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
