Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy fantasy with genuine political stakes, where magic systems reflect real power struggles between genders.
  • You've read the first book and want to see how Raeshaldis navigates both personal and societal upheaval.
  • You appreciate character-driven epic fantasy where the protagonist faces pressure from family, duty, and conscience all at once.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone novels or dislike starting partway through a series.
  • You want action-heavy fantasy with minimal attention to worldbuilding philosophy or social systems.
  • You're looking for romance to be the central thread rather than one element among larger conflicts.

About this book

In the second book of this fantasy series, a female Sun Mage must respond to a distant call for help while confronting a mysterious threat in her own city. Magical power has shifted: men once held the ability to maintain civilization and keep women in servitude, but the powers to heal the sick and bring fertility to the land have mysteriously transferred to women. Men are struggling to accept this change. Raeshaldis, the first female Sun Mage in training, faces pressure from her own family to re-enslave her. She also receives a psychic plea for help from another Crafty woman. As she prepares to answer this call, a magical plague emerges in the Yellow City, endangering both allies and enemies alike.
