The Tethered Mage is the first novel in Melissa Caruso's debut series, Swords and Fire. The story takes place in the Raverren Empire, where people born with magic are forced to join the empire's army. Zaira possesses strong magic, and has been hiding on the streets to avoid conscription. A chance encounter with Lady Amalia Cornaro, heir to the Raverren throne, has consequences neither could imagine. Intricate world-building, nuanced characters, political intrigue, and not one but two strong female make this series a must-read. Book two in the series, The Defiant Heir, will be released on April 24.
