A City of War by Genevieve Middleton In Progress
When magic returned, it almost destroyed the world. As far as anyone knows, what remains of the human race is holed up inside a single city and its surrounding towns and farming land. Resources are tight and magic has declined again, but there are a select few family lines that can birth sorcerers. These families have banded together and fight for control of the city’s underground against the group who stole their secrets twenty years ago. Tina, of course, knows none of this. Her days are spent working in a café and looking after her injured mother. But when a stranger attacks her in an alleyway, she is drawn into a world of magic, murder, and family feuds.
