#amberjaune

New chapters! Two magi walk into a bar; a long-overdue visitor arrives; and a djinni chases after a fallen star.

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

When in doubt, write like Dickens. The only way I seem to be able to get any of my stories complete is if I go the serial fiction route. Looking for some new fantasy to read?

My attempt at a teaser:

In the beginning was the World, and the World was split in two. When the Great Seal of Al-Yaqut shattered, ancient walls came tumbling down. Djinn spill into the realm of men, and the United Council of Magi find themselves struggling to set aside their own differences to adequately confront it. Only the immortal magi of the long-shunned House of Amberjaune have dared to stand in the line of otherworldly fire.

An ocean away, Sister Siyana Malik answers the call of a childhood friend to be the new herbalist for the prestigious Tesla Academy. Her skills at poultice and tincture are rivaled only by her knowledge of djinn. A chance encounter with Master Luke Westman, teacher and expert pyromancer, is set to test her power and resolve when the chaos of Al-Yaqut refuses to remain overseas.
