Of Swords and Spells

Return to a universe where magic is shackled to repressive technology in a stirring adventure alive with the clash of swords and sorceries, fierce hates and fiercer loves . . .

Malka wants to be left alone. But the little girl with the big sword can't help but attract attention. Perhaps it is because of the secret she carries--a powerful secret about her own astonishing identity. But whatever the reason, however they find her, the magic-annihilating Enforcement is on her trail--and they will stop at nothing short of murder.

Taking refuge aboard android Roder Massim's spaceship, Malka finds herself among a crew of renegade witches. She trusts no one--least of all Roder. Yet she finds herself strangely drawn to him. Finally, marooned on a planet of untamed magic, with their enemies one step behind, there is only one chance left. The renegades must somehow harness enough magic to move an entire world--before Enforcement wipes it out altogether.

Only Malka has the power. But will she pay the terrifying price?
