Product Description
by Melissa Scott (Author), Lisa A. Barnett (Author)
The city of Astreiant is full of magic, danger and bureaucracy, all of it driven by the stars that can determine one's fate from birth. Now something or someone is making guild apprentices disappear without a trace. Philip Eslingen has just been discharged from his mercenary company and as a Leaguer and a stranger, one who does not know his stars, he makes an ideal suspect. Fortunately for him, Adjunct Point Nicolas Rathe from the Point of Hopes station doesn't agree, but he knows the only way to prove that is to find the missing children and the real culprits. Together they must follow a twisted trail of deceit and magic in a city on the brink of exploding into violence. If they can't learn to work together, the results could be catastrophic, even fatal. The fate of the city hangs in the balance. And even if they succeed, Philip must still find a reason to stay. Point of Hopes is Book 1 of the Astreiant Series.
