A mage challenges a powerful goddess who controls all magic in this dark fantasy epic and “spellbinding take on magic-with-a-price” (Sarah Beth Durst)
"The Gossamer Mage is like eating chocolate—smooth, addictive, and fabulous. And deliciously dark."—Kristen Britain, New York Times-bestselling author of the Green Rider series
Only in Tananen do people worship a single deity: the Deathless Goddess. Only in this small, forbidden realm are there those haunted by words of no language known to woman or man. The words are Her Gift, and they summon magic.
Mage scribes learn to write Her words as intentions: spells to make beasts or plants, designed to any purpose. If an intention is flawed, what the mage creates is a gossamer: a magical creature as wild and free as it is costly for the mage.
For Her Gift comes at a steep price. Each successful intention ages a mage until they dare no more. But her magic demands to be used; the Deathless Goddess will take her fee, and mages will die.
To end this terrible toll, the greatest mage in Tananen vows to find and destroy Her. He has yet to learn She is all that protects Tananen from what waits outside. And all that keeps magic alive in this enthralling and immersive dark fantasy world.
