Walk too far into the bush and you might not come back.

Kylara's biggest concerns had always been gossiping neighbours and small town politics. The only one in her town with the ability to use magic, she was used to the responsibilities and the stares.

But now her power was gone. Eldritch horrors lurk in the deserts, thieves brazenly steal from the most powerful city in the world, and a mysterious traveller arrives in town, seeking hidden truths.

Kylara never expected to find herself embroiled in any of it, but she's always been good at spinning a bad situation to her advantage.

Even without magic.

Slow paced with plenty of slice of life elements, but lots mystery and action too. Lots of worldbuilding, science, and a bit of maths.
