Radiant by Karin Sumner-Smith
400 Pages
Xhea has no magic. In a society that runs on magic Xhea is an outcast. The only way she can make a living is using her ability to see ghosts and the tethers that bind them to the living world. When a man comes by and asks to be free of his ghost for a few days, Xhea thinks it is just another job. However, the ghost, Shai, is a Radiant, one of a few rare individuals that generate so much magic they serve as the engines of the Towers. Xhea gets caught up in the power struggle between towers concerning Shai and learns to use her strange magic that emerges.
Coming out later this month, the book isn't bad. It would appeal to readers who like strong woman protagonists and fantasy.
