Circle of Ash (The Solace Cycle Book 1) 💀 scary.co

From the Critics"While this is obviously a character-driven tale—even secondary players are adeptly developed—it’s the meticulous worldbuilding and extensive backstory that make Magleby’s series opener so effortlessly immersive.... the hidden narrative gem here is the deep philosophical undertone...masterful worldbuilding, a rich tapestry of character-centric threads, and nonstop action and adventure make this a must-read for those who enjoy shelf-bending and genre-blending storylines.An absolute grand-slam first installment of an SF/fantasy series." — Kirkus ReviewsFrom the AuthorI wrote Circle of Ash first and foremost as the epic fantasy I wanted to read—something very different from the usual settings, while still paying homage to its predecessors. I wanted characters who talked and acted and most importantly felt like real people, and a world that felt like it really was lived-in, with consistent rules to its universe and limits to its conceits. I wanted texture and depth and the potential for rewarding re-reads. I wanted to poke and prod at things like identity and alienation, coming of age and coming to a halt, faith and fear and personhood.I think I've created something worth your time. I'd like to invite you to visit Solace with me, and if you do......thank you for reading.- Sterling MaglebyFrom the Back CoverBy the churning banks of the Ashlit Mire and the crumbled black of a sprawling ruin, the town of Kualabu stands an uneasy watch.

It is not an easy place to come of age, but Sanyago and his brother Laris will have to find their way through and face the dangers of the life set out for them.Out in the furthest reaches of Earthmarch, Juliaen Draecsl works alongside her family, helping to push the boundaries of her Nation further out into the quartzwood wilds, dreaming of duty and deeper purpose.
