------------------------------------------------------------- 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 become 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 realise 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 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. Praise for Blood Over Bright Haven: "This is the new god-tier fantasy author" Reader
