The Steerswoman (The Steerswoman, #1)

About this book

The jewel was opalescent, its blue and purple tones shifting with the play of light on its silver-veined surface. The face was perfectly smooth, far smoother than a jeweler could have cut it. In all her travels, Rowan had seen only a few like it - and she was sure they were no natural creations. As a steerswoman, Rowan was dedicated to the discovery of new knowledge, and the mystery of the jewels was too compelling to resist. She never guessed that her search for the jewels' origins would lead her dangerously close to the forbidden lore of the wizards, who would not hesitate to kill to protect their jealously guarded secrets. But by using their power against her, the wizards risked more than they realized. For Rowan questioned magic itself.
