A DYING MAGIC.
A SLAUGHTERED QUEEN.
A WORLD ON THE BRINK OF WAR.
The Mistral - a divine, ancient wind - has long swept over the realm, bestowing magical abilities on those destined to shape the future.
But The Mistral is dying.
As it falters, and fear of all-out war consumes the kingdom, a peace delegation sets out from the land of Terrius to the city of Lurella.
At the delegation’s heart is Swan, daughter of an assassinated queen, who holds a powerful and rare ability. She must seek answers - both to her mother’s murder and her own inability to master her powers. Before it's too late.
Meanwhile, in Lurella's duelling pit - The Iron Circuit - Fenne, a feared fighter, comes to the attention of one city ruler, who sees in her an opportunity . . .
As the Peace Pledge begins, Swan and Fenne are thrown together by a dark conspiracy – one that could forever alter not just their fate, but that of The Mistral.
And the fragile balance holding the realm together . . .
The Mistral begins an epic new fantasy trilogy – a sweeping tale of high magic. Of dangerous powers and deadly ambition. And a world on the precipice of the darkest of wars . . .
Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson and John Gwynne.

Imagine a melting pot of; Mistborn Era 1, Words of Radiance, Godkiller, and more.
This is such a good story and a fantastical world that Felix Mosse is building.
He’s done suuuuuch a good job of creating an interesting world that I completely and utterly want to immerse myself further in.
A world where two coalescing Mists grant people powers, some revere it as a god, others want to weaponise it and craft technology from it to being a world of power to the masses instead of the chosen few.
Mistral felt so familiar, and I’m not mad at that. Because it didn’t feel like a rip off, it felt nostalgic and home. It reminded me of an introduction to multiple worlds I’ve come to love before.
This was an ARC though, and although I really fucked with the story and characters, I think it needs a bit more editing before release as words/phrases/grammar at points had me stopping in my tracks.
Honestly, cool concept. I do want to see some more uniqueness in the sequel, but secret orders, political instability and rival wars, secret powers and prophecies, it ticks a lot of boxes.
4.0/5.0

Really solid start to a epic fantasy series.
I really loved these characters and can’t wait to continue on with this series, and see what direction we go in.
The world building is extremely unique and I loved how it is explained through the eyes of one of main character Fenne, as this makes the introduction to the magic system feel seamless and Fenne is somewhat of an outsider in the city of Eron.
Would definitely be recommending this series if you like epic fantasy with political world building.
