Magic is power, and only the Kirosz Empire's oneiromancers can wield it.
It's why the city of Nirsuathu surrendered, and why no one challenges imperial rule.
Until now.
When a Nirsuathan professor engineers a magic of his own, Tyatavar and her sister Vilari both take his magical aptitude test. While Vilari passes and becomes the first student of his new magic, Tyatavar steals a magic vial of the professor's creation, one with the power to travel instantaneously to any place along the bank of a river, lake, or ocean.
Coming in Fall 2023, A Chain of Lights is the first book in the Stars Fall Out series. It includes an imperial occupation, mysterious magic, sibling problems, a secret marriage, and lots of baked goods and banter.
