‘The Mistral is marvellous . . . wonderful, consistent and profound world-building. Something amazing has spun out of Felix’s head’ Stephen Fry’A glorious read: clever, compelling, and deftly original while still bringing to mind so many of my fantasy favourites’ Ellie Keel

‘A plot that fuses innovative magic, grand adventure, political intrigue and a complex, multi-layered coming of age story – what more could you want in modern fantasy?’ – Vaseem Khan –A DYING MAGIC. A SLAUGHTERED QUEEN. A WORLD ON THE BRINK OF WAR.

The Mistral – a divine, ancient wind – has long swept over the realm, bestowing magical abilities on those destined to shape the future.

But The Mistral is dying.

As it falters, and fear of all-out war consumes the kingdom, a peace delegation sets out from the land of Terrius to the city of Lurella.

At the delegation’s heart is Swan, daughter of an assassinated queen, who holds a powerful and rare ability. She must seek answers – both to her mother’s murder and her own inability to master her powers. Before it’s too late.

Meanwhile, in Lurella’s duelling pit – The Iron Circuit – Fenne, a feared fighter, comes to the attention of one city ruler, who sees in her an opportunity . . .

As the Peace Pledge begins, Swan and Fenne are thrown together by a dark conspiracy – one that could forever alter not just their fate, but that of The Mistral.

And the fragile balance holding the realm together . . .

The Mistral begins an epic new fantasy trilogy – a sweeping tale of high magic. Of dangerous powers and deadly ambition. And a world on the precipice of the darkest of wars . . .
