Southern Fire
Juliet E. McKenna
Their coming had not been written in the stars, and no augury had foretold the terror they would bring. The first sign was the golden lights of the beacons, a clear message from every southern isle that a calamity had befallen them. Daish Kheda, the warlord, reader of portents, giver of laws, healer, and protector of the many-islanded realm of the Aldabreshin Archipelago, must act quickly and decisively to avert disaster. From the outer islands comes news that a powerful sorcerer is wreaking chaos and destruction. The people of the Aldabreshin Archipelago not only fear magic, they've abjured it, making their realm particularly vulnerable to the dark magic that threatens to overrun every island of his domain. Kheda is determined to defeat the unknown power of the south, a decision that will lead to battles of sword and wizardry, but to wield the only defense against the dark magic—wizardry—means certain death in the Archipelago. This book is the first in *The Aldabreshin Compass* series.
