A city of scholars. A stolen vial. A bakery case full of regrets. Magic is power, and only the Kirosz Empire wields it-or so everyone thought, until a Nirsuathan professor engineered a magic of his own. When the professor's aptitude test sparks ambitions, Tyatavar, a baker's daughter, promptly fails it. No surprise there-until her sister passes. Vilari becomes the first student of the professor's new magic, while Tyatavar remains stuck. Stuck drowning in flour and currant loaves. Stuck in an unwanted marriage-and lying about it constantly. Plus, with her sister skipping bakery shifts to study magic, there's no space to claim a future of her own. Then a new friendship with an odd glass merchant offers her a way out: printmaking. But tradition and obligation tighten around her-and threaten to keep her trapped when someone from her past returns. Still, even for a magic test failure, the professor's magic may be the solution. As change ripples through her city, impulse collides with desperation, and Tyatavar faces upending everything she knows. A Chain of Lights is the first book in a character-driven gaslamp fantasy series full of slice-of-life vibes, mysterious magic, and a looming imperial conflict.
