The saga, which consists of three books Windwitch, Truthwitch and Bloodwitch, is set in a world where three empires rule and every member of the population is born with a magical skill set, known as a “witchery”.

Best friends Safi (a Truthwitch) and Iseult (a Threadwitch), as well as the cunning ship captain Prince Merik (a Windwitch), and the mysterious and powerful Aeduan (a Bloodwitch) must navigate warring empires, political machinations, and mercenaries who seek to use their magic for selfish gain.
