Born to a couple of bon vivants with a Renaissance approach to intellectual curiosity, M.C. learned to taste wine, build a campfire, and think in terms of geologic time before quitting the nest. Early fascinations with anthropology and fantasy translated into a degree in English lit, but that's the last rational decision the author made aside getting married. In pursuit of a J.D., M.C. moved to the city of Chicago from (no joke) every other region in the country. Returned triumphant from the bar exam, the obvious next step was to put these tools to use writing adventures in imagined worlds. Biggest childhood influences, Pratchett and Pern, which come through in humor, vibes of science fantasy, and an unapologetic love for cities. There will be slang, cursing, magic, moments of great warmth. And cities. If that wasn't coming through: lots of cities.
With the infighting mostly laid to rest, Sathriel can put his attention on the witch's quest. It's hard, though, to know how to move forward. No one promised Ha'ere all her champions would live to see the end of the conflict that brought them together, but it isn't clear whether they can win without everyone's assistance. No further portents are forthcoming: the Dragon of Seeing has stopped responding.
In the Northlands, in Ophana, even on the ocean that divides them, stunning truths will be revealed. Hints that their peoples – and their magic – have more in common than a witch's dreams. Once upon a time, their ancestors did something so ambitious that it frightened them.
The emperor and his new sorcerer meet a foreign god that may be able to explain it all, but only after they perform a service for it. Killing its rival is the task it has in mind, and it's helpfully bringing that rival within reach, at the head of the Tanengoli army making for Barracheh.
