Fantasy & SciFi
High above a jungle-planet float the last refuges of humanity—plant-made civilizations held together by tradition, technology, and arcane science. Here, architects are revered deeply, with humanity’s survival reliant on a privileged few. If not for their abilities, the cities would plunge into the devastating earthrage storms below. Charismatic and powerful, Iravan is one such architect. His abilities are his identity, but to Ahilya, his archeologist wife, they are a method to suppress nonarchitects. Their marriage is thorny and fraught—yet when a jungle expedition goes terribly wrong, jeopardizing their careers, Ahilya and Iravan must work together to save their reputations. But as their city begins to plummet, their discoveries threaten not only their marriage, but their entire civilization.

This genre bending science-fantasy book has Indic aesthetics and the most vivid and beautiful descriptions of the organic city it begins in. The book despite its detailed images in it's world building, can be very abstract while explaining the plant based magic system, the process of the magic largely takes within the mind of the architect. You might take as far as halfway into the book to properly start visualising how the magic happens. The protagonists being 30 something in age, and even married is a breath of fresh air amongst angsty YA fantasy novels.
