Fans of James Cameron's Avatar and RF Kuang's The Poppy War will love this prescient and emotionally charged dystopian fantasy that delves into the darker edges of human nature and asks: who will dare raise their voice when survival demands silence?For centuries, the Satarian refugees have been trapped in the Al'Mazraea camp, shunned by the Amanese and forbidden to practise their ancient earth magic, creomancy. Mila has grown up inside its fences, secretly learning the dying art from her brother, Nasir, all the while knowing discovery could mean death.When a disaster strikes that exposes Mila's magic, any hope of a peaceful life is destroyed. The IronHand group, a rising political force, seizes control and unleashes a regime of brutality against her people. Wracked with guilt and with Satarian culture on the brink of extinction, Mila faces an impossible choice: keep her head down, or risk everything to fight back.Either way, no one is safe...
