The Shape of Power

IN ONE YEAR, THE EMPIRE WILL HANG BRINA’S FATHER.
SHE WON’T LET THEM.

Brina Springtide carries her father's legacy like a curse. She was only a child when his assassination of the empire’s divine ruler cast the realm into chaos and ripped apart what remained of her family. Left to fend for herself, Brina feels powerless against the crushing grip of the empire. Until she unearths a mysterious artifact in an abandoned mine.

As Brina discovers her hidden powers, she is sucked into a shadow world of banned magic, thievery, and rebellion. No longer alone, she finds herself surrounded by the very people the empire swore to destroy: sparkgazers. Inspired by Brina’s father, these sorcerers have been conspiring in secret to tear down the empire.

Step one of their plan? To free the man who started it all.

With a crew of unlikely companions, Brina sets out for the infamous prison of God’s Maul. Between its blackened walls and labyrinthine passages, her father counts his final days.

She might get in, but will she get back out?
