The Rogue Mage series of fantasy novels were written by Faith Hunter about races of beings inhabitanting a post-apocalyptic Earth of the not-too distant future. Some of them possess magical powers. The series is set in the remains of the United States about a century after an apocalypse similar to the one predicted in the Book of Revelation, but with no god appearing
BOOK 1
Bloodring
About a century after devastating plagues and the War between Good and Evil, Earth is in another ice age. Demons and seraphs fight unendingly, as do humans. A host of other unworldly creatures, most with an appetite for humans, add to the general danger. Certain humans are neomages, with the power to use leftover creation energy; kept in luxurious prisons, they use their powers only for the seraphic "government." Neomage Thorn St. Croix had to escape or go mad. Hiding among ordinary humans, she even married. When an attractive policeman appears at her door and tells her she is suspected of abducting her former husband, Thorn has to use her powers to hunt for him, too. Of course, any official who watches her long enough will figure out what she is, which means madness or death for her. Hunter's very professionally executed, tasty blend of dark fantasy, mystery,
and romance should please fans of all three genres
BOOK 2
Seraphs
After what happened in Bloodring (2006), Thorn St. Croix can't hide that she is a neomage, and neighbors who had suspended judgment develop great wariness of her. Given a postapocalytic world that keeps going after the events of Revelation, paranoids are the least of her worries. Under the nearby mountains, a seraph lies imprisoned while her essence is used to create unholy creatures capable of defeating humans and neomages alike. Initially unaware of the seraph's plight, Thorn eventually leads a rescue team to her. More adventure than detective story or romance, and definitely more splattered with gore, Seraphs may disappoint Bloodring enthusiasts. Others, however, may relish its development of Thorn's world
BOOK 3
Host
The third novel in Hunter's postapocalyptic fantasy series (after 2006's
Seraphs) finds neomage Thorn St. Croix working as a jeweler and town mage in the rural Appalachian town of Mineral City, Carolina. Then her former home, the New Orleans Enclave, sends arrogant metal mage Cheran Jones, ostensibly to instruct her in media relations as she is woefully lacking in diplomatic knowledge and abilities. When the deadly succubus queen's war on Mineral City provides enough death energy for the powerful Dragon to escape its prison between the planes of reality, Thorn is pulled between the demands of the ultra-lawful Administration of the ArchSeraph and its rivals, the Earth Invasion Heretics, who claim to know the origins of seraphs and demons and the whereabouts of Thorn's missing twin, Rose. Hunter's world continues to expand in this highly original fantasy with lively characters where nothing can ever be taken for granted
