Silverglass
by J. F. Rivkin
Silverglass drops you right into the boots of Corson brenn Torisk, a sword-for-hire who lives by her blade and her wits, with zero patience for anything as messy as magic. When she signs on to protect the mysterious Lady Nyctasia, Corson quickly discovers her employer isn't just 'amusing and rich' – she's a sorceress, and a target. As the threats escalate and a sword proves insufficient, Corson, ever the pragmatist, finds herself forced to reconsider her stance on the forbidden arts. This is a story for readers who crave a truly strong, morally ambiguous female lead; someone who's not afraid to get her hands dirty and evolve her worldview to survive. Expect fast-paced action, a compelling magic system, and a gritty sense of adventure where the lines between good and bad blur.
