Publisher Description
A new world to explore from the author of the bestselling Black Magician trilogy.
In a world where an industrial revolution is powered by magic, Tyen, a student of archaeology, unearths a sentient book called Vella. Once a young sorcerer-bookbinder, Vella was transformed into a useful tool by one of the greatest sorcerers of history. Since then she has been collecting information, including a vital clue to the disaster Tyen’s world faces.
Elsewhere, in an land ruled by priests, Rielle the dyer’s daughter has been taught that to use magic is to steal from the Angels. Yet she knows she has a talent for it, and that there is a corrupter in the city willing to teach her how to use it – should she dare to risk the Angels’ wrath.
Yet not everything is as Tyen and Rielle have been raised to believe. Not the nature of magic, nor the laws of their lands… and not even the people they trust.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
What if magic, like electricity, was a known quantity that had everything to do with power—in all senses of the word? Tyen and Rielle, protagonists from vastly different backgrounds, help build a fascinating world where this is the case, though their paths never intersect. Facing totally separate challenges, the pair—naïve in different ways—create a captivating introduction to this high-fantasy series. Grant Cartwright and Hannah Norris trade narration duties as the novel’s perspective shifts between Tyen and Rielle, their smoothly flowing voices the perfect vehicles for Trudi Canavan’s word-wizardry. If you’re a fan of well-plotted magic systems, this spellbook’s for you.
