The Mistral

Brought to you by Penguin.

A DYING MAGIC.

A SLAUGHTERED QUEEN.

A WORLD ON THE BRINK OF WAR.

The Mistral - a divine, ancient wind - has long swept over the realm, bestowing magical abilities on people destined to shape the future.

But The Mistral is dying.

As it falters, and fear of all-out war consumes the kingdom, a peace delegation sets out from the land of Terrius to the city of Lurella.

At the delegation’s heart is Swan, daughter of an assassinated queen, who holds the powerful and rare ability: The Root of Revelation. She must seek answers - both to her mother’s murder and her own inability to master her powers. Before it's too late.

Meanwhile, in Lurella's duelling pit - The Iron Circuit - Fenne, a feared fighter, comes to the attention of one corrupted city ruler, who sees in her an opportunity . . .

As the Peace Pledge begins, Swan and Fenne are thrown together in the discovery of a dark conspiracy – one that could forever alter not just their fate, but that of The Mistral.

And the fragile balance holding the realm together . . .

The Mistral begins an epic new fantasy trilogy – a sweeping tale of high magic. Of dangerous powers and deadly ambition. And a world on the precipice of the darkest of wars . . .

Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson and John Gwynne.
