What to expect

A mage bereft of her powers must find out if she is destined to save the world or destroy it in this glittering epic fantasy from debut author Annabel Campbell. Perfect for fans of Andrea Stewart, James Islington, and Samantha Shannon.

"Disaster wizards galore, rich political intrigue, and a hint of dragonfire, The Outcast Mage reminds me why I love epic fantasy so much." ―Georgia Summers, author of The City of Stardust

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. Or worse, be consumed by her own power. 

Luckily, the most powerful living mage, Haelius Akana, finds Naila a kindred spirit. He will teach her to harness her abilities. But Haelius also has many enemies, and they would love nothing more than to see he and Naila fail. 

Trapped in the deadly schemes of Amoria's elite, Naila must dig deep to discover the truth of her latent powers or watch the city she loves descend into civil war.

"Truly enchanting." —Trudi Canavan, bestselling author of Thief's Magic
