Written in first person narrative, Tethered Mage follows patrician daughter, Amalia, on her unlikely path as a Falconer and diplomat.
In the empire of Raverra, Falcons are mages of one kind or another, and Falconers are the humans who tie them and their powers to the empire. After a fluke that binds her to a fire warlock, Amalia is forced to play among Falconer ranks, despite her patrician status. This upset causes rifts among the ruling councils and cities of the empire.
Amalia takes her training as a future diplomat of Raverra to task in her attempts to save the city of Ardence from war and certain destruction. But nothing is ever easy, especially for a Cornaro, and Amalia and her Falcon, Zaira have their work cut out for them.
In a fast paced narrative, Caruso takes the reader on a wild ride, not leaving any worldbuilding holes. It’s a page turner you won’t be able to put down. I look forward to the continuation of the story.
