## Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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 “provocative stand-alone novel [that] deftly incorporates elements of science and philosophy into dark academia” ( The Washington Post ), from the author of The Sword of Kaigen . “Bears comparison to groundbreaking works by Ursula K Le Guin . . . the best fantasy novel of the year”— The Guardian Features gold and red foil on the jacket, a full-color endpaper map, and an interior illustration of an in-world magical item! AN ELLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to the study of magic, fueled by a mad desire to achieve the impossible: to be the first woman ever admitted to the High Magistry at the University of Magics and Industry. When Sciona finally passes the qualifying exam 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 realize 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6 ⭐️ — My First 6-Star Read of the Year!!
*by C***N on 12 September 2025*

This book blew me away. I was completely hooked — the magic system alone had me geeking out! It felt so much like writing code, which made it uniquely exciting and satisfying to read. Sciona is not your typical FMC — and that’s exactly what made her so refreshing. She’s sharp, driven, and not necessarily likable, which is honestly the point. Watching her navigate a male-dominated academic system filled me with so much rage. She absolutely crushed the high mage entrance exam — outperforming every male candidate — and still, people reduced her to either a diversity hire or someone who slept her way in. Despite the damn exam being public! I swear, I wanted to punch half the men in this book. Then, as an insult, she’s assigned an immigrant janitor, Thomil, as her lab assistant — a move meant to humiliate her… but it ends up changing everything. Sciona’s internal bias toward the Kwen immigrants was frustrating, especially as someone who’s a POC and has experienced life as an immigrant. But her inner dialogue, while maddening, felt real — a raw look at how deep ignorance can go when people grow up inside unchecked privilege. As Thomil and Sciona begin to work together, he not only challenges her worldview but reveals the devastating truth behind the magic that powers their city — and the field she’s devoted her life to. What follows is both heartbreaking and transformative. This story is powerful, important, and unflinching. It forces us to question what we normalize and who we dehumanize. In a world where we’re often desensitized to the cost of human life, this book is a gut-punch reminder that every life matters — equally, fully, and urgently. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be over here crying about that ending 😭
