They choose their laws to secure their power.
Fellion is a Lamplighter, able to provide illumination through magic. A group of rebel Monarchists free her from indentured servitude and take her on a journey to rescue trapped compatriots from an underground complex of mines.
Along the way they get caught up in a conspiracy to kill the latest royal child and wipe out the Monarchist movement for good.
But Fellian has more than just her Lamplighting skills up her sleeve…

“[This] is an absolute gem of a story, a peek into a fascinating, fully realized world that manages to explore issues of power, consent, class and destiny before turning over some of fantasy’s tropes completely on their head. I loved it.” —S. A. Chakraborty
“A rich and atmospheric lacework of worldbuilding, politics and magic—and of one woman’s journey to find her place in the wake of a revolution. Mesmerising, relentless and sharp.” —Aliette de Bodard
