Void Caller

In the City, the magic of the stars holds sway over all aspects of life, and those touched by the darker powers of the void are hunted and feared. Death is the only fate they deserve.Osian was still a child when he watched his mother's execution for the crime of being born a void caller. In the depths of his anguish, Osian accidentally summoned a terrifying creature from the void - proving the same power ran in his veins. Thousands died before the voidling was banished, and Osian has been running ever since - from his past, from his guilt, and from the terrible inheritance he fears will one day consume him. Livia is the most talented star binder the City has seen in generations, but has rejected academia and its privileges to pursue a more dangerous vocation: hunting void callers. Her parents died in the voidling attack all those years ago, and she hopes that vengeance will help sate the fury in her heart. Yet strange constellations herald stranger times. A darkness is falling over the City that even the power of the stars cannot resist, and soon Osian and Livia will find themselves entangled in a conflict far greater than either of them could have imagined.Void Caller is a superb epic fantasy debut resplendent with deep lore, imaginative worldbuilding and vividly-drawn characters - the perfect read for fans of James Islington, Brandon Sanderson and John Gwynne
