Madness killed her mother. Now a plague is killing her father. But no one believes that this snubbed academic has found a way to stop this plague. A plague so virulent it’s eating through the entire city. Audra Academician lost the respect of her peers thanks to her radical theories. They call her mad. She hates that. And it means that no one believes her anymore. The evidence to cure the plague is an ancient journal written by a Mage - a race of people that have been extinct now for hundreds of years. Only Audra can decode the archaic language. And the cure is an ancient magical artefact, the Healing Glass, hidden in a lost corner of the land. She has to convince her peers she’s right, or the Glass will stay lost and everyone in the city will die. But when nightmarish visions start to haunt her, she fears that the same madness that claimed her mother is now coming for her. Now, not only the lives of the citizens consume her thoughts. She has to get the Healing Glass before her mother’s madness kills her too. The Healing Glass is the first book in an exciting new epic fantasy series.

“…a brave and original novel with a cast of memorable characters.” - Jaine Fenn, award-winning SFF author “Sabina…is very sharp and funny. She really leaps off the page.” - Liz Williams, SFF best-selling author Audra left Kingston City to save it from the plague. What she brings back is far worse: herself. For uncounted Ages, all-powerful, immortal Mages imprisoned unwitting humans in an entire country to play out their sacrificial Games. Audra Academician, in her quest to save the city, discovered the Healing Glass never existed. She discovered the truth about the Mages. She discovered the truth about herself. She’s not human. She’s one of them. Now the Mages must strike back and find Audra before their blood-thirsty secret is exposed. They devise a deadly race, and one of the contestants is unpredictable Sabina, a Mage of low rank and filthy mouth. She wants to win the race, sure. But not to save Magekind. She has other plans. Awakening Mages is the second book in the epic Age of Academicians fantasy series. \\ Contains strong language and scenes of violence\\
