Description
Everything has a cost, especially magic, in this standalone dark fantasy from the author of The Sword of Kaigen. For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to studying magic, driven by the seemingly impossible ambition of becoming the first woman admitted to the High Magistry at the University of Magics and Industry. When she finally becomes a highmage, her difficulties have only begun. Her new colleagues are determined to make her feel unwelcome and assign her a janitor instead of a qualified laboratory assistant. What Sciona and her peers do not know is that her taciturn assistant was once a nomadic hunter who lost his family during their perilous journey from the wild plains to the city. Now he has the chance to understand the forces that decimated his tribe, drove him from his homeland and keep the privileged in power. Although the mage and outsider initially have a fractious relationship, they uncover an ancient secret that could change the course of magic forever, if it does not get them killed first.
