#23 From Unseen Fire by Cass Morris

[missingvolume]

This is a fantasy set in an alternate Roman empire with magic. Some people have one of eight types of magic and use it with their day to days lives. Not everyone is a priest of a god or goddess with the magic but it does tend to run in families. The only thing you can’t do if you have magic is run for the Senate, politics is barred to magic users. Latona and her two sisters each have magic, but her magic was so strong she was wed to someone not that interested in politics to hide her from the dictator. Now that he is dead, factions are vying to take control of the Senate and the future of the Empire. The action of the book swings between to Latona and Sempronus, a leader of one of the factions and Latona’s brother who is far away with the legions fighting to protect distant lands.

This is certainly book one of a series and even with good conclusion to the voting at the end of the book there is so much more to explore in future books.
