In this glittering debut fantasy, a mage bereft of her powers must find out if she is destined to save the world or destroy it. Perfect for fans of Andrea Stewart, James Islington, and Samantha Shannon.
In the glass city of Amoria, magic is everything. And Naila, student at the city's legendary academy, is running out of time to prove she can control hers. If she fails, she'll be forced into exile, relegated to a life of persecution with the other magicless hollows. Or worse, be consumed by her own power.
When a tragic incident further threatens her place at the Academy, Naila is saved by Haelius Akana, the most powerful living mage. Finding Naila a kindred spirit, Haelius stakes his position at the Academy on teaching her to harness her abilities. But Haelius has many enemies, and they would love nothing more than to see Naila fail. Trapped in the deadly schemes of Amoria's elite, Naila must dig deep to discover the truth of her powers or watch the city she loves descend into civil war.
For there is violence brewing on the wind, and greater powers at work. Ones who could use her powers for good… or destroy everything she's ever known.
Annabel Campbell writes fantasy with fierce female characters, disaster wizards and all the fun tropes. She lives near Lanark, Scotland, in a village where most of her neighbors are sheep. She has a PhD in cardiovascular science, and when not making things up for a living, she works from home as a Medical Writer. Her other joys are red wine, playing games, or showing you too many pictures of her dog. Her evil cat overlord occasionally lets her leave the house.
Reviews
"Truly enchanting."—Trudi Canavan, bestselling author of The Black Magician "With stakes as high as the glittering glass towers of Amoria, The Outcast Mage is a strong, pathos-filled start to an epic new fantasy series. Fans of political maneuvering, powerful magic, and found family will find much to love."—Julie Leong, author of The Teller of Small Fortunes "Disaster wizards galore, rich political intrigue, and a hint of dragonfire, The Outcast Mage reminds me why I love epic fantasy so much. If you like Trudi Canavan and Garth Nix, you’re going to adore this."—Georgia Summers, author of City of Stardust "The Outcast Mage is a spectacular debut, full of heart and magic, with complex, courageous characters and a blossoming underdog you cannot help but cheer on. Campbell is a shining new talent in fantasy." —Cameron Johnston, author of The Maleficent Seven "Annabel Campbell has created a rich fantasy, textured with complex politics and mysteries upon mysteries. The Outcast Mage opens a door into a world that has enough depth to make it feel like a real place, and I want to get to the bottom of it all."—Joma West, author of Face and Twice Lived"The Outcast Mage is a shining joy of a book. In a deft twist on epic fantasy, Campbell spins a captivating world out of glass and sand, and populates it with people who are brave and flawed and truly human. I cannot wait to see where she takes us next."
—Lorraine Wilson, author of The Way the Light Bends Expand reviews
