Blood Over Bright Haven

Description

Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang is a standalone dark-fantasy novel that blends magic, academia, and social injustice in a richly built world.

In the fortified city of Tiran, protected from the encroaching Blight by magical barriers, ambitious scholar Sciona Freynan has long dreamed of becoming the first woman admitted to the High Magistry. When she finally succeeds, her triumph is hollow: her male colleagues undermine her by assigning her a janitor as an assistant. What they don’t know is that her assistant, Thomil, is no mere janitor but a survivor from the Kwen tribes devastated by the Blight—he carries secrets of the land outside the barrier.
