Blood Over Bright Haven

by M .L. Wang · 2023

In the industrial, magically‑powered city of Tiran, orphan Sciona has spent two decades mastering the arcane with a single goal: become the first woman admitted to the High Magistry. After finally achieving high‑mage status, she is handed a janitor—Thomil, a taciturn outsider who once roamed the wild plains beyond the city’s magical barrier. Together they uncover an ancient secret that could upend the very foundations of magic and the society built upon it, while battling hostile colleagues, personal trauma, and the deadly collectors who police magical debt. A standalone dark‑academia fantasy that blends mystery, tragedy, and philosophical questions about truth, power, and sacrifice.
