The Mistral

THE MISTRAL IS DYING . . .


An ethereal current made of the two World Winds, the Mistral has long swept over the lands of Mycenia, binding the Octet Realms and bestowing 'Roots' - magical abilities to people destined to shape the future.

But as the Mistral falters and fear of all-out war consumes the realms, a peace delegation sets out from Terrius to the city of Lurella, in Eron.

At the delegation’s heart is Swan, daughter of an assassinated queen who holds the powerful and rare Root of Revelation. She must seek answers both to her mother’s murder and her own inability to master her powers.

Meanwhile, among the white stones of Lurella, new arrivals compete in the duelling arena, the Iron Circuit. 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 unwitting but expendable pawns.

The Mistral is the beginning of an epic new fantasy trilogy – a sweeping tale of high magic and political intrigue. Of dangerous powers and deadly ambition, of a world riven by the past as it seeks a bold new future.
