<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Mirah Bolender's fast-paced, adventure fantasy debut, <i>City of Broken Magic</i>, features a bomb squad that defuses magic weapons.</b> <p/>Five hundred years ago, magi created a weapon they couldn't control. An infestation that ate magic--and anything else it came into contact with. Enemies and allies were equally filling. <p/>Only an elite team of non-magical humans, known as sweepers, can defuse and dispose of infestations before they spread. Most die before they finish training. <p/>Laura, a new team member, has stayed alive longer than most. Now, she's the last--and only--sweeper standing between the city and a massive infestation. <p/>Chronicles of Amicae<br><i>City of Broken Magic / The Monstrous Citadel / Fortress of Magi <p/></i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for <i>City of Broken Magic</i></b> <p/>"This debut builds a <b>fascinating setting</b> that readers will want to keep coming back to."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review <p/>"An enjoyable, <b>anime-influenced romp</b>."--<i>Locus</i> <p/>"[A] fascinating debut...Readers will be antsy for the next installment."<i>--Library Journal</i> <p/>"With complex characters, political intrigue, and discussion of feminism and the caste system...[r]eaders will enjoy <i>City of Broken Magic</i> and its <b>fresh spin on the fantasy genre.</b>"--<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"[A] fast-paced, exciting ride.
