Join us for our February book club discussion of The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso. In this adult fantasy debut, the heir to a powerful political family finds herself accidentally tethered to a fire mage as a politically rocky situation unfolds.

From the publisher:

In the Raverran Empire, magic is scarce and those born with power are strictly controlled — taken as children and conscripted into the Falcon Army. 

Zaira has lived her life on the streets to avoid this fate, hiding her mage-mark and thieving to survive. But hers is a rare and dangerous magic, one that threatens the entire empire.

Lady Amalia Cornaro was never meant to be a Falconer. Heiress and scholar, she was born into a treacherous world of political machinations. But fate has bound the heir and the mage.

War looms on the horizon. A single spark could turn their city into a pyre.
