Description
A young woman's mastery of her botanical world's magic leads to a life of power, ambition and solitude as she chooses between humanity and her jungle.
"Calendra finishes meditating and thanks the sprawling banyan. It is time. She ignores the cries of her pursuers. Nobody but a Manifold Artist - the living legends of bedtime stories - can hope to catch her. She will soon be something beyond even them. The Daughter of the Manifold has nothing to fear. She has something to pursue.Calendra becomes Fast."
Civilisations posture for control of the ten magical Arts while dangerous truths about humanity's botanical utopia risk falling into the wrong hands.
When the powerful Announcer learns of Calendra's unique relationship with the reality-bending Arts of the Manifold, she must choose whether to flee to safety or chase the extraordinary.
As her vibrant world dims and she discovers a new path to power, it is the war between Calendra's humanity and ambition that will shape the future of magic.
Daughter of the Manifold is an introspective tale of power, ambition and solitude, set in a vibrant botanical world teeming with known and unknown magic. It follows the life of an extraordinary young woman with the talent, opportunity and drive to change the world, as she pursues power, freedom, and protection of her jungle home.
It is the first in a trilogy, but its own complete story.
