What is AUBADE RISING ABOUT?
How can I change the world when someone is always looking at my cards?
Irrevocably changing the world is a fool’s dream. But for Sage, an ambitious academic with forbidden Aubade magic, the possibility is real. A brilliant scientist, her secret research will change the way that magic is used in Trevesiga.
Unbeknownst to Sage, she’s become the focus of a rebel group who want to get their hands on her research, with or without her. When her laboratory is targeted in a rebel attack, Sage flees to the capital city, Pentargon and seeks refuge in the royal palace.
Now working as the King’s Alchemist, Sage must balance her new political role with the increasing pressure to finish her research successfully – all under the watchful eyes of the Eskar, Captain of the King’s Guard. He’s authoritative and moody, focused on eliminating the rebel threat at all costs. Then Sage crosses his path and forces him to find a new perspective. Together they seek to defeat the rebels and prevent all-out war but time is running out…
"My hands rise, twisting in shapes learnt in secret from my mother before she died and I call my magic forward."
