In Sight

Description: Epic, multi-threaded fantasy with a cyberpunk rationality. First of a two-book series. Synopsis: Roween Sage knows something terrifying about magic; something that no-one else knows - something that no-one else can be allowed to know. Five years before she was born, the world was still a place of feudal stability. There was change, yes - a flowering of art and science - but it was gradual, manageable. Magic? Magic was myth - until its principles were suddenly discovered. The rapid industrialisation that followed stretched society to its limits. Business and commerce raged out of control. Old religions fell before new science; old certainties gave way to new doubts. In a world where kings rule by force of personality, where war and assassination are commonplace, where the magic-savvy trample the ignorant to grow ever-richer, the future depends on the intrigues of one shy and introverted daughter of a librarian.
