The first woman ever admitted to a prestigious order of mages unravels a secret conspiracy that could change the practice of magic forever, in this standalone dark fantasy from the author of The Sword of Kaigen.
“Powerful, thought-provoking. . . . Fans of R.F. Kuang’s Babel will find much to admire here, from the intricate magic system to the unflinching exploration of societal issues.”—Booklist
AN ELLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to the study of magic, fueled by a mad desire to achieve the impossible: to be the first woman ever admitted to the High Magistry at the University of Magics and Industry.
When Sciona finally passes the qualifying exam and becomes a highmage, she finds her challenges have just begun. Her new colleagues are determined to make her feel unwelcome—and, instead of a qualified lab assistant, they give her a janitor.
What neither Sciona nor her peers realize is that her taciturn assistant was not always a janitor. Ten years ago, he was a nomadic hunter who lost his family on their perilous journey from the wild plains to the city. But now he sees the opportunity to understand the forces that decimated his tribe, drove him from his homeland, and keep the privileged in power.
At first, mage and outsider have a fractious relationship. But working together, they uncover an ancient secret that could change the course of magic forever—if it doesn’t get them killed first.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“A scathing but truthful look at the world we live in, and a stunningly powerful story.”—Terry Brooks
“Powerful, passionate, and painful, this book is like a file baked into a birthday cake: a surprise when you first bite down on it, but also a tool that can set you free. Innovative and brilliantly written, this is a glorious jewel added to the crown of dark academia.”—Seanan McGuire
“Wang deftly incorporates elements of science and philosophy into dark academia in this provocative stand-alone novel.”—The Washington Post

The magic system was fascinating! Although I do wish the origins in a tribe sense were discussed a little more, I understand the lack of that knowledge being glaringly apparent and there would really be no way of gaining it back. It leaves me to beg the question what happens next? Where do we go from here? Will there be no use of magic in the future?
I'm a little lost on how the ending resolved the conflict. It feels more open ended "Hail Mary" in the hopes that taking out the players will stop the cycle of abuse rather than actually solving the problem.
Overall a very thought provoking and deeply moving dark academia/high fantasy.
Truth over delusion. Growth over comfort.
