PRAISE FOR THE MISTRAL 
 
'The Mistral is marvellous . . . wonderful, consistent and profound world-building. Something amazing has spun out of Felix’s head . . . excessively moreish’ STEPHEN FRY 
 
'A glorious read: clever, compelling, and deftly original while still bringing to mind so many of my fantasy favourites. The characters feel fresh and alive, and the emotional stakes are high. I loved it, and can’t wait for the next one' ELLIE KEEL 
 
'A fantasy world rendered in richly woven detail and a plot that fuses innovative magic, grand adventure, political intrigue and a complex, multi-layered coming of age story – what more could you want in modern fantasy?' VASEEM KHAN

Felix Mosse is a script editor and writing coach based in London. In his previous career as an actor, Felix spent over a decade appearing in numerous acclaimed productions, including a stint as Marius in Les Miserables, before realising his real passion lay in the writing. His debut novel, The Mistral, was published by Michael Joseph in 2026 and became an instant Sunday Times bestseller.

The Octet Alliance is broken and the armies of Eron and Terrius brace for battle. Meanwhile, Fenne hunts the man who unleashed this war while Dante unlocks a relic with world-shaping power and Lamourney, once a hero, is thrust into command and must confront the truth of what she has done. Above them all, the Mistral weakens - and there is only one thing that can save it. The Prophecy. It speaks of salvation, but is the price too high? And is it destiny or the actions of mortals that will bring it to pass?

THE MISTRAL is a glorious read: clever, compelling, and deftly original while still bringing to mind so many of my fantasy favourites. The characters feel fresh and alive, and the emotional stakes are high. I loved it, and can’t wait for the next one.

A fantasy world rendered in richly woven detail and a plot that fuses innovative magic, grand adventure, political intrigue and a complex, multi-layered coming of age story – what more could you want in modern fantasy?

From its unforgettable opening scene, The Mistral grips and won’t let go. Magic under threat. The fallout from a murdered queen. Fragile worlds on the edge of war. Complex plotting, intricate world-building, and an army of characters to root for. You’ll love it – as I did.

Marisa Linton, author of Circle of Shadows and Domain of Darkness

The Mistral has long bestowed 'Roots' - magical abilities to people destined to shape the future. 
But as the Mistral falters and fear of war consumes the realms, a peace delegation sets out from Terrius to Eron. 
Swan, daughter of an assassinated queen, holds the powerful and rare Root of Revelation. She must seek answers to her mother’s murder. 
Meanwhile, Fenne, a feared fighter, comes to the attention of one city ruler who sees in her an opportunity 
As the city prepares to host the Peace Pledge, Swan and Fenne catch glimpses of dark conspiracies – ones in which they may prove expendable pawns.
