When sorcery can't conjure freedom, the rifle will have to do.
In the Kingdom of Novaraum, industrial revolution triggers a political one. Duchies split off to form "free" states and armies prepare fearsome new weapons. But a ruling class long-dependent on magic to justify their tyranny won't let go easily.
Few know this better than sorceress Jenna Farmoon. She thought nothing could pull her back into their world—certainly not their fratricidal civil war. But as that war drags on and magical atrocities escalate, she senses something truly awful dredged from beyond the material world.
She's a problem General Jorum Crest doesn't need. Picked to lead the Free States' hard-luck army against a fresh Royal offensive, he's already outnumbered, with only grit and an edge in technology to balance the scales. And the magical prodigy who swore off his cause—as well as his love—may be more liability than help.
Wizards plot, generals bicker, and armies collide, wielding the sorcery of an old world against the firepower of a new one in this epic black powder fantasy.
