Magic burns. Especially if it starts in your underwear. Professor Coveland Nocht would rather grade term papers than overthrow the social order—but when two teenage girls vanish and his dead wife's sister turns up with a glowing chest and a foul-mouthed dinosaur, his sabbatical goes up in smoke. Literally. Keeva Rigdom never asked to be a mage—or a fugitive. But when her bra catches fire, a corrupt priesthood comes knocking, only her know-it-all brother-in-law stands between her and a one-way trip to the executioner's stage. Now Cove, Keeva, and their sarcastic assistant Sera must outrun robotic enforcers, genetically-engineered kaiju, and a centuries-old carnival cult to uncover the truth about the moon Elystria: a crystalline celestial body that destroys technology, empowers magic, and might just be alive. Elystria is the explosive first chapter of The Azure Heroes, a smart, sarcastic, emotionally resonant blend of fantasy, sci-fi, and dark academia. Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Terry Pratchett, and Dragonriders of Pern—if the dragons had Bluetooth and social trauma.
