Synopsis

JOIN THE HUNT FOR THE TRUE SOURCE OF MAGIC!

The ley lines of power, which have protected Marudal—the famed city of magic—for centuries, are disappearing. Not even the wizards who study them know why. To the west, a militaristic power rises, threatening a peace which has endured in the east for centuries. What does the timely arrival of an emissary from the Western Empire have to do with the waning of magic? See the mystery unravel through the eyes of a dozen strangers. Thief or watchman, servant or imperial officer—all have a role to play in the revelation of the true nature of magic.

In the Valley of Magic is a traditional fantasy tale of mystery and conspiracy, constructed as a short story novel, a collection of semi-independent character stories which blend together into a single, linear plot. Fans of the Gentlemen Bastards will enjoy the deep world-building, including a unique take on organized crime, while readers at home in Discworld will find themselves rooting for the watchmen of Marudal as they take on the bad guys and uncover a political conspiracy. And everyone loves wizards. Join the hunt for the true source of magic!
