A review by dawson001
The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso

5.0

Caruso’s debut novel THE TETHERED MAGE is everything a fantasy over should be: filled with dynamite characters, a firm magical premise, political intrigue, excellent world building, and a healthy dose of romance.

It revolving around the heir of a powerful family, and one of the most dangerous mages in their world and is filled with magic, political intrigue, and romance,. The main character, Lady Amalia Cornaro lands in an impossible situation that throws her future in jeopardy. She must navigate the tangle of her own wishes, her mother’s expectations, and her unfolding destiny.

Book One of the trilogy SWORDS & FIRE is filled with excitement, danger, and magic as Caruso introduces us to this beautifully complex world. It left me so enthralled that I started the sequel the same day.
