Behold the power of Chimor!

The once-small world of Silluka, Ichu, and Cosquella has shattered wide open. Fleeing the ruins of their home, the survivors find refuge in Chimor—a sprawling city teeming with gods, magic, and species from every corner of the Shifting Lands. But survival in this glittering metropolis comes at a price.

Ichu’s powers have been corrupted by a strange god, his magic turning against him. Silluka is pushed to her limit by the stern Elder Quilqi, forced to master Intent Magic long before she’s ready. And as their companion Lugopo begins channeling unearthly inventions from the divine, the trio finds themselves drawn into a conflict that threatens the balance of their entire world.

When an army of turtlemen invades from the desert, even Chimor’s might may not be enough. To save her people—and possibly all creation—Silluka must fight in the arena where gods decide which species has the right to rule.

A dazzling continuation of The Shifting Lands series, Intent Magic blends epic fantasy, martial arts training arcs, and mythic world-building into a tale of gods, courage, and the unyielding will to grow stronger.
