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.

\ \ The Outcast Mage is like the love child of your favorite epic adventure fantasy and a dark academia novel, taking the best of both to create an unforgettable reading experience. With a unique magic system, found family, and political intrigue, there is a little something for every reader. I just could not get enough of the characters, staying up late into the night in order to finish this book in one sitting!\ \ If you want a fantasy book with MINIMAL Romance, this would be the one for you! Instead, you get a beautiful relationship between a teacher and his student that is more like a father/daughter relationship. I adore mentor/mentee relationships and this one did not disappoint!](https://arcanenightspress.binderybooks.com/item/MPs3VVTv6EETXQ4r6ZfC/)
