Exile by Rowena Cory Daniells is the second book in The Outcast Chronicles, and is published in August by Solaris
(£7.99).
“For over three hundred years the mystics
have lived alongside the true-men, until King Charald lays siege to the
mystic’s island city. Imoshen, most powerful of the female mystics, is elected
to negotiate with the true-man king. The male mystics still resent her, but she
has an ally in Sorne, the half-blood, who was raised by true-men. Even though
he is vulnerable to her gifts, he gives Imoshen his loyalty. In return, she
gives him the most dangerous of tasks, to spy for her.
She negotiates exile for her people. They
must pack all their valuables, reach port and set sail by the first day of
winter. But to do this, they have to cross a kingdom filled with true-men who
are no longer bluffed by their gifts. Meanwhile, there are mystics living in
the countryside, unaware that their people have been exiled. King Charald
announces any mystics who remain behind after they are exiled will be hunted
down and executed.”
