Magi Storm

by Gail Daley

Two races have traveled through separate portals to take refuge on the Sekhmet, proud descendants of felines, and humans, whose ancestors came from Primates. The Magi of Rulari chronicles the on-going saga of two very different peoples learning to live together on a world where magic works and men and women live or die by the sword.   A simple act of kindness dumps a young healer into a web of Magic intrigue and war.   When Catrin of Ironlyn arrives at the crumbling Wyvern Towers to unite Wild Magi Logan Silvermane aka the Weatherman with his baby son, she finds it in ruins. Logan is there on mission to convince an old friend to accept the new Magi Accords. The Accords will free Askela's enslaved Magi from the tyranny of the Proctors and help keep everyone safe from an invasion by the nearby kingdom of Jacite.   They soon discover there is a traitor at Wyvern Towers. Can Catrin & Logan convince a powerful wizard to return and take up the Magi defenses of Askela before a Jacite agent destroys Askela's best hope for peace?

About the author

Gail Daley is a self-taught writer and artist with a background in business. An omnivorous reader, she was inspired by her son, also a writer, to finish some of the incomplete novels she had begun over the years. She is heavily involved in local art groups and fills her time reading, writing, painting in acrylics, and spending time with her husband of 40 plus years.
A recent bout with breast cancer and major stomach surgery has slowed her down a little, but she continues to write and paint.
Currently her family is owned by two cats, a mischievous young cat called Mab (after the fairy queen of air and darkness) and a Gray Princess named Moonstone. In the past, the family shared their home with many dogs, cats and a Guinea Pig, all of whom have passed over the rainbow bridge.

Reviews

[MGB · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the story of a power couple who are deeply in love. So deeply in love that she would travel weeks through dangerous territory to be united and share the love of their son.

The story plays out against the background of two sentient, conflicting species living across the universe from their home planets. The greatest conflicts are intraspecies although interspecies conflicts do exist.

The story itself leaves some big unanswered questions, perhaps fodder for next in series?

Major Fantasy in the tradition of Andre Norton

This story takes place after Spell of the Magi. Although some characters here appeared in Spell, this book can be read as a stand alone story.
There are spells and sword fights and even a touch of sci-fi with an artificial intelligence named Gesok.
Rulari is a new world, richly detailed. I recommend it.
