Welcome to the City of the Magicians!
Book 1
The City of the Magicians: Threat
Magic, like consciousness, appears mysterious only because it is unexamined. Everyone recognizes it when, maybe for mere moments, beauty enhances existence, love warms the heart and reality obliges.
Citizens know active conscious Magic requires discipline, training and focus for an originality to manifest as desired – perhaps a reason why its practice has declined over the centuries. While the City’s story culture celebrates it, deliberate magical practice is attended by risks … a factor to consider since a looming crisis is about to reinvigorate Magic in all its wonders and dangers.

Book 2
The City of the Magicians: Within
Purdu, the barbarian invader, has arrived! How can the pacifist, nonviolent City of the Magicians contain him when one faction appeals to his heart, the other to his ambitions?
Sas and Lalya are envoys of opposing camps, but Purdu throws them together to isolate them from their enclaves and assert his own authority. Yet two others decide to oppose him their way. Hyur, foremost metallurgist, secretly forges a magical weapon to tempt and subvert him. Gleswea, an astronomer, flees south to view skies she has never seen, but is swept into a culture that judges women of ability as necromancing witches deserving death.

The City of the Magicians: Quickening
How could the City of the Magicians, avowed pacifists, embroil themselves in a warriors’ battle to the south? For the nefarious 5th School it’s the lure of becoming an imperial capital; for Purdu, the Barbarian leader, it’s proof of his divinity; for others, it’s an exciting adventure.
Back in the City, Shoan, Council Strategist, urges Lalya to make a public repudiation of the 5th School. She would love to, but Sas warns it is premature.
