Overview
Deep in the desert, Breeze-Felt-at-Moonrise is keeping a secret: she can grow crystalline armor from her own body, a gleaming second skin as beautiful as it is forbidden
Darkly whimsical, this gorgeous epic fantasy combines the political leanings of The Goblin Emperor and the intricate magic system of Warbreaker
Long before Breeze-Felt-at-Moonrise was born, her people staged a coup. They tried to murder their queen. They failed.
Twenty years later, Breeze lives in banishment with the rest of her people in the Aureate Desert, all having sworn an oath to never again use the power that led to their downfall. But as she grows older, it becomes impossible for Breeze to conceal her secret: thanks to a symbol her mother inked on her body, Breeze possesses the forsaken, forbidden magic of the Skinmakers. She can grow a layer of crystalline armor from her very flesh, sparkling, beautiful, powerful—and dangerous.
Setting out to find a way to destroy the crystals budding from her body in the hopes of proving she deserves a place among her people, Breeze tangles with taciturn linguists, world-weary historians, and steely-eyed generals with histories as complicated and traumatic as her own. On her journey, she struggles to reconcile the role of power unwillingly forced upon its bearer; a nuance that grows all the more pertinent as—despite Breeze’s best efforts—her people once more become embroiled in the politics and wars of the land they once betrayed.
Epic and intricate, nuanced and gorgeously written, Breeze Felt at Moonrise is a sumptuous dark fantasy perfect for fans of Katherine Addison and Lois McMaster Bujold.
