Roween Sage knows something terrifying about magic; something that no-one else knows — something that no-one else can be allowed to know.

Five years before she was born, the world was still a place of feudal stability. There was change, yes — a flowering of art and science — but it was gradual, manageable. Magic? Magic was myth and superstition — until its principles were suddenly discovered.

The rapid industrialisation that followed stretched society to its limits. Business and commerce raged out of control. Old religions fell before new science; old certainties gave way to new doubts.

In a world where kings rule by force of personality, where war and assassination are commonplace, where the magic-savvy trample the ignorant to grow ever-richer, the future depends on the intrigues of one shy and introverted daughter of a librarian.

The In Sight, In Flames duology fits the NotByUs paradigm because it’s multi-threaded Epic Fantasy with a Cyberpunk rationality.
