The first woman ever admitted to a prestigious order of mages unravels
a secret conspiracy that could change the practice of magic forever in
this standalone dark fantasy from the author of The Sword of Kaigen.
For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to the study
of magic, fuelled by a mad desire to achieve the impossible: to be the
first woman ever admitted to the High Magistry at the University of
Magics and Industry.
When Sciona finally achieves her ambition and becomes a Highmage, she
finds her challenges have just begun. Her new colleagues are determined
to make her feel unwelcome – and instead of a qualified lab assistant
they give her a janitor.
What neither Sciona nor her peers realize is that her taciturn
assistant was not always a janitor. Ten years ago he was a nomadic
hunter who lost his family on their perilous journey from the wild
plains to the city. But now he sees the opportunity to finally
understand the forces that decimated his tribe, drove him from his
homeland – and keep the privileged in power.
At first, mage and outsider have a fractious relationship. But working
together, they uncover an ancient secret that could change the course
of magic forever – if it doesn’t get them killed first.
