Notorious Sorcerer

Notorious Sorcerer, a 2022 Debut by Australian author Davinia Evans, launches September 14. Ever since the city of Bezim was shaken half into the sea by a magical earthquake, the Inquisitors have intensively policed alchemy. Nothing too much like real magic is allowed–and the careful science that’s left is kept too expensive for any but the rich and indolent to tinker with. Siyon Velo, a glorified errand boy scraping together lesson money, doesn’t qualify. But when Siyon accidentally commits a public act of impossible magic, he’s catapulted into the limelight... which isn't a good place to be!
