Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Synopses: Of the Abyss is the first book of Amelia Atwater Rhodes’ Mancer Trilogy. After decades of war, peace has come to Kavet – at a terrible price. Sorcery is outlawed, contact with other realms is punishable by death, and only the scholars of the Order of the Napthol may legally speak of the Abyssi and the Numini.

Hansa Viridian, a captain in Kavet’s elite anti-sorcery guard, has lived by these laws all his life. But when he is framed for a sorcerer’s crimes, his only chance to survive is to seek help from the Abyss itself – from a half-Abyssi man he despises, yet cannot ignore.

Drawn into a widening conspiracy, Hansa, the sorcerer Xaz, and a Napthol Sister named Cadmia are forced into the depths of the Abyss, where their only hope of escape lies in completing a deadly infernal task that may cost them everything.

Grateful and loyal, Vance has never questioned the life Mistress Jeshickah has built for him.

Everything changes when a sudden act of violence forces him beyond Midnight’s walls – and into the path of Malachi Obsidian, a shapeshifter who insists Vance is something far more dangerous than he realizes. According to Malachi, Vance is a bloodwitch, wielding rare and destructive magic that Jeshickah and her enforcers are quietly controlling.

Vance wants to believe Malachi is lying. But when those closest to him begin to fall mysteriously ill, cracks appear in the perfect world he trusted. Caught between the vampires who raised him and the shapeshifters who hate them, Vance must decide where the truth lies – and what he’s willing to risk to stop the empire he once called home.
