Eclipse of the Sun - Ashcroft I. A.

In a shattered world, few sanctuaries remain. But for two refugees, there are none.

As a smuggler, Jackson walked the fine line between shining New York and the lawless wilds every day—between sanity and his personal chasm of magic and madness. Now, his home is behind him. A growing storm threatens to consume him, destroying his fragile balance.

Perhaps it would be different if he’d never met Anna. But then, he wouldn’t have hope for the future either.

Abducted from a happier time, Anna desperately wants to believe in a better tomorrow—but she wields a power that terrifies her. Thrown into intrigue and blood, all she works for is to justify why she should have lived when her world died. The Coalition government dogs her, wanting to use her abilities for their own ends. The Order of Mages spins its traps, tightening the noose on her and her dearest friend.

Now those beyond the city walls grow restless, tired of accepting scraps, done with living in fear. In the shadows, old gods goad on violence and rebellion, playing games no mortal mind can fathom.

War is coming for them all. Anna and Jackson lie in the middle, the outcast, the chosen—and if they will not fight, then they too will die alongside their pursuers.
