About this ebook

In the wake of Blight’s slaughter of Wizards on First of Summer, Astra Fairweather and her twelve fellow apprentices work their hearts out supplying Magic to the Plain folk of Wizard’s Reach. They get little in the way of rest and even less in the way of thanks. The only light at the end of their dark tunnel is the hope that the Wizard Council will relieve them before they drop from exhaustion.

But when Council relief appears, it comes with insults, veiled accusations, and attitudes than serve to enrage a Plain population already fed up with Wizards and Magic.

Worse, Magic is clearly dying: even the simplest spell becomes burdensome, even impossible ... for everyone but Astra. Her Instinctive Magic is as strong as ever — except she can’t be everywhere at once and can’t tell anyone what she can do, because Instinctive Magic is officially deemed heretical.

When word comes that Blight has resumed killing — slaughtering his way up the Mainland coast, heading for Cove City — the Council quickly unveils its plan to stop Blight, to kill Blight. Astra knows that the Council’s plan has no chance of success because she’s certain Blight is Instinctive, the same as she is: his Magic will be undiminished, even as every other Wizard on Amedia will be hobbled as Magic dies around them.

Author

B. T. Jaybush

B. T. Jaybush is the pen name of Brian and Timothy Jaybush, a father and son team specializing in Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Paranormal worlds. • Winners: 2008 Zirdland.com Novel Writing Contest (“Relics”) • Finalists: 2010 Santa Fe Screenplay Contest (“Outpost Station,” the screenplay version of “Sydney Chambers: Captain”) Brian Jaybush cut his teeth reading science fiction, starting with Asimov's I, Robot at age 10 and progressing insatiably from there. He has been writing all his life, starting as a journalist in junior high school and continuing with legal and technical writing later in life (BA History, 1975; Juris Doctor, 1978). Retirement from 30 years in the telecommunications industry has allowed him to concentrate on fiction writing full time, in partnership with his son, Timothy. Timothy Jaybush also began reading and writing science fiction at an early age, leading to an uncanny ability to construct unusual and entertaining story lines. In addition to working full-time, Tim graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Philosophy.
