Dust and Light
Dust and Light: A Sanctuary Novel | Carol Berg
3 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
National bestselling author Carol Berg returns to the world of her award-winning Flesh and Spirit and Breath and Bone with an all-new tale of magic, mystery, and corruption.... How much must one pay for an hour of youthful folly? The Pureblood Registry accused Lucian de Remeni-Masson of “unseemly involvement with ordinaries,” which meant only that he spoke with a young woman not of his own kind, allowed her to see his face unmasked, worked a bit of magic for her....After that one mistake, Lucian’s grandsire excised half his magic and savage Harrowers massacred his family. Now the Registry has contracted his art to a common coroner. His extraordinary gift for portraiture is restricted to dead ordinaries—beggars or starvelings hauled from the streets. But sketching the truth of dead men’s souls brings unforeseen consequences. Sensations not his own. Truths he cannot possibly know and dares not believe. The coroner calls him a cheat and says he is trying to weasel out of a humiliating contract. The Registry will call him mad—and mad sorcerers are very dangerous....

I forgot that I convinced my mom to read this book by one of my favorite authors (and a #ColoradoLocal author) and was surprised and delighted to see it on a table in the living room.

Trying it again... The language is a bit pretentious to my ears & one of the primary plot points seems overly dramatic (punishment for wizards interacting with normals). Maybe if you like Classic High Fantasy, this might be your bag?

#AprilBookShowers- In the world Carol Berg's Lighthouse Duet and Sanctuary Duet take place in, magic users must be #Masked when interacting with people without magical abilities.
