Produktbeschreibung
Alia has come home in search of answers. What she gets in place of information is new obligations. Allies who complicate her difficult situation. Shisum finds himself in a leadership position, raised on high by the society he's trying to rebel against. The Complex disintegrates while Dyafer and Mairid circle each other watchfully. Boden has reached a point where he ought to be able to stop and catch his breath, but life isn't willing to oblige him. Mages still loyal to the Code will hand him a chance to finally take a stand on the only subject that matters to him, but doing so means taking a huge risk. He'll have to place his life in another's hands by asking him: do you love me enough to admit it? Plots that have been three books in the making are taking shape. Lines drawn in the sand, ultimatums handed. On every side, bridges burn as mages take a stand and choose their side, even if the only person on that side is them. The concept of a scapegoat is meaningless without a sacrifice, so the question is how many are coming out of this alive?
Autorenporträt
Born to a couple of bon vivants with a Renaissance approach to intellectual curiosity, M.C. learned to taste wine, build a campfire, and think in terms of geologic time before quitting the nest. Early fascinations with anthropology and fantasy translated into a degree in English lit, but that's the last rational decision the author made aside getting married. In pursuit of a J.D., M.C. moved to the city of Chicago from (no joke) every other region in the country. Returned triumphant from the bar exam, the obvious next step was to put these tools to use writing adventures in imagined worlds. Biggest childhood influences, Pratchett and Pern, which come through in humor, vibes of science fantasy, and an unapologetic love for cities. There will be slang, cursing, magic, moments of great warmth. And cities. If that wasn't coming through: lots of cities.
