The Bridge to Magic by Unknown Author

Description

Men thought they had won the war against magic, when a demi-god had sundered their realm and banished magic and its keepers to the deadlands. But then another terror was born. Nothing can survive the approaching Blight. Terren, the last refuge of mankind, now stands alone in its path. Only the bridge across the great chasm offers any hope of escape... for some. Elika has long feared the bridge to the Deadlands. It had taken her parents, and the lives of more poor fools than she could count. What's there for them anyway on the other side but more suffering and death? Though the gods had abandoned them, the king and his priests will stop the Blight. They just need to destroy every echo of magic, the source of the Blight. Then she discovers that the biggest echo of magic is hiding inside her, and through her it seeks to enact the will of its own. Accused of being a mage, she is hunted and hated. Many doubt her loyalties. Her gang turns against her. The one man she thought she could trust and love, abandons her. Everything she knew about her past shatters, as long-buried secrets about her true birth emerge. Worse still, she may not even be human. She must race to find a way to purge herself from magic's hold. But as time runs out for the city and her magic only grows in power, can she sacrifice herself to save the last of humanity and all that she loves?

Elika watches an old man walk across a bridge and disappear into the deadlands. Her parents had done the same thing, leaving her behind to live with a band of thieves. Elika blames the bridge and stabs it with a knife. Shockingly, the knife goes into the bridge as if it were flesh, and the bridge bleeds. This means Elika has magic, and two people saw her do it. People with magic are burned alive in blood-salt fire. The stakes ramp up when the priests find her knife stuck in the Bridge and ask for the person who put it there to turn themselves in. The choice is between the Blight, a force that has destroyed all the towns except her own, and the Bridge, a mysterious form of suicide for most. However, a few can walk across the Bridge and disappear into the Deadlands. The priests believe if you destroy the Bridge to Magic, you destroy the Blight. Thornbury is an excellent writer who combines impending doom with dialog, plot, and Elika’s inner conflict. However, I often found myself wondering why the characters were doing what they were doing. They often didn’t appear rational and did things without reason.
