Echo and empire (#1). ROUDS M.

In the empire built on lies, though it can become the greatest weapon.

Joslin Drake knows only three facts about magic: it is rare, often illegal, but always deadly. Once, as a result of an unsuccessful attempt to steal a casket, forbidden magic penetrates the girl’s blood, which allows you to plunge into the memories of the famous dark sorcerer. Now Joslin needs to get rid of magic until she destroyed her soul. But in Ironport, all witches and sorcerers fall into the fortress of prisoners, and attempts to find help can be carried out by the death sentence. And there is nobody who could trust Joslin. No one except Jeriko, who offers her a deal: his help in exchange for the power itself. But Jeriko is not at all the one for whom he gives himself out. And the closer they become, the more Jocelin begins to doubt good and evil, strength and magic, and even to himself.
