| Summary: | In the glass city of Amoria, magic is everything, And Naila, a student at the city's legendary academy, is running out of time to prove she can control hers. If she fails, she'll be forced into exile, relegated to a life of persecution with the other magicless hollows - or worse, be consumed by her own power. When a tragic incident further threatens her place at the academy, Naila is saved by Haelius Akana, the most powerful living mage. Finding in Naila a kindred spirit, Haelius stakes his position at the academy on teaching her to harness her abilities. But Haelius has many enemies, and they would love nothing more than to see Naila fail. Trapped in the deadly schemes of Amoria's elite, Naila must dig deep to discover the truth of her powers or watch the city she loves descend into civil war. For there is violence on the wind, and greater powers are at work. Ones who could use her powers for good... or destroy everything she's ever known. |

| Author Notes: | Annabel Campbell writes fantasy with fierce female characters, disaster wizards and all the fun tropes. She lives near Lanark, Scotland, in a village where most of her neighbors are sheep. She has a PhD in cardiovascular science, and when not making things up for a living, she works from home as a Medical Writer. Her other joys are red wine, playing games, or showing you too many pictures of her dog. Her evil cat overlord occasionally lets her leave the house. |
