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.
Civilization may go up in flames if a group of people who hate each other can't learn to be friends.
The 3,000-year-old Barrachite Empire is in decline. A vestigial aristocracy worries about debt while the emperor bends knee to trade cartels. Modern Barracheh is still the mightiest civilization in the area, but they no longer birth conquerors or visionaries. No one is building monuments anymore like the massive pyramids near every older city.
Sathriel has traveled Barracheh from the jungle that birthed his people to the snowy north; he's walked the plains and coast and desert in his mission to bring back the sorcery that forged the empire. It's a tricky task since magic's disappearance is a mystery. It doesn't help that assassins and spies belonging to the emperor have dogged his heels since he ran away from home 9 years ago. They're twins, and no one knows the truth about what spawned their feud.
No sooner does he find a sorcerer than the witch Ha'ere finds him. Bringing back the sorcery that vanished a thousand years ago will have consequences, positive but also negative. She wants to introduce him to a band of allies handpicked by her gods to help him. The catch? They're either foreigners from countries he's never even heard of or his enemies.
