Sinopse

Funerals are usually the end of the story, not the beginning.
 
Newly graduated warrior-mages Toria Connor and Kane Nalamas find themselves the last remaining mages in the city when a mage school teacher mysteriously falls ill and dies. But taking over the school themselves isn't in the cards. They're set to become professional mercenaries-if they make it through the next 18 months as journeymen first.
 
The debate over whether to hunt mutated monsters in the Wasteland or take posh bodyguard jobs is put on hold when a city elder hires them to solve the mystery of the disappearing mages. Toria and Kane's quest brings them to the British colonial city of New Angouleme, where their initial investigation reveals that the problem is even greater than they feared.
 
But when a friend is kidnapped, they'll have to travel to the other side of the globe to save her, save themselves, and save magic itself.
 
“In this return to Gribble’s unique world-blend of fantasy and alternate history, readers will relish the compelling portrayal of magic and the sometimes easy-going, sometimes sexy, sometimes heart-wrenching tests of the warrior-mage bond.”—Jen Brooks, In a World Just Right
 
“Well-written and a fun read, Steel Magic by J.L. Gribble is filled with mystery, sacrifice, and challenges that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.”—Jennifer Brozek, Never Let Me Sleep

    The strongest net is no match for destiny. 
     
     
     
    Daraja has grown up watching her brothers journey down the river on the traditional Deinopidae rite of passage. Each returned with riches from their travels, and lovers with whom to share their lives. 
     
     
     
    Now she has reached the age where she would strike out on her own to seek her fortune—if she were male. Instead, she is expected to sit patiently, weave her nets, and wait for the river to bring a husband to her. 
     
     
     
    Patience, however, has never been her strong suit. 
     
     
     
    Brynmor haunts the forest surrounding the city of Cathis, his disembodied spirit inextricably bound to the wild canis roaming his lands. Until the day he stumbles across a brazen trespasser in his woods. 
     
     
     
    Compelled to step in when the canis suspect her of poaching one of their own, Brynmor fears he has lost a piece of his ragged soul to the feisty, adventure-seeking female. And when the canis confront the real poachers, he is forced to choose which life to sacrifice. Hers . . . or his own. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Caroline is about to go psychotic—and given her family, it’s no surprise. Joseph cannot talk to women even if he is a certified high-IQ clever dick trying to take snapshots of the end of the universe. Ray and Marj have their own hassles with in‑laws, but student terrorists get in the way. Meanwhile, Brian, misogynist and wit, appalls everyone in the quipu world. Quipus? They are the scandalous fanzines that hikes traded before blogs were invented. Hikes? High-IQ clever dicks, of course. In Quipu, Australian writer Damien Broderick reimagines his prize‑winning 1984 novel Transmitters as the surprising saga of a “family” of genius‑level, one‑of‑a‑kind individuals.
