Perfect for you if...

You love portal fantasy with a magic system that actually matters, especially when the protagonist has to rebuild it from scratch.
You're drawn to strong female leads with genuine power and centuries of backstory they're still uncovering.
You want progression fantasy with real stakes: not just levelling up, but solving the mystery of what happened to the entire magical world.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy fantasy or light-hearted adventure. This has assassination attempts and serious world-building tensions.
You're not interested in portal fantasy premises or fish-out-of-water scenarios where the protagonist has to adapt to a radically changed world.
You need standalone novels. This is book one of a series and leaves threads deliberately unresolved.

About this book

A great mage dies protecting their people. A thousand years later, they awaken to discover that true magic has vanished and been replaced entirely by gadgetry. The mage's descendants appear to need instruction in authentic sorcery. However, the mage must first uncover a pressing question: who is determined enough to kill them, having already attempted to do so twice?
