The Ships of Air by Martha Wells7/6/2023 Tremaine, the once-suicidal daughter of Nicholas Valiarde, a powerful Rienish citizen who, along with the wizard Arisilde, vanished six years ago, now knows that Arisilde’s soul resides inside the magical sphere that constitutes the Rienish wizards’ best defense against Gardier magic. On the far side of the gate, the Syprians, likewise invaded by the Gardier, fear magic (their own wizards are all evil psychotics) but their elemental gods have anointed a Chosen One, Giliead, making him immune to most magic and able to detect the spells of others. The land of Ile-Rien has fallen to the Gardier, mysterious and implacable enemies from another world, but not before Rienish wizards discover how to open their own interworld gate. Second installment in Wells’s trilogy ( The Wizard Hunters, 2003), set in a universe where magic, alchemy, and engineering all work.
