The first book in a spellbinding fantasy trilogy for fans of The Queen of the Tearling and The Red Queen, where two young women -- a mage with coveted powers, and the scion of a powerful family -- are magically bound in service to the Empire.

Magic is scarce in the Raverran Empire, and those born with such powers are strictly controlled -- taken as children and conscripted into the Falcon army, to be used as weapons in times of war.

Zaira has lived her life on the streets to avoid this fate, hiding her mage mark and thieving to survive. But hers is a rare and dangerous magic, one that threatens the entire Empire.

Lady Amalia Cornaro was never meant to be a Falconer. Heiress and scholar, she was born into a treacherous world of political machinations.

But fate has bound the heir and the mage. And as war looms on the horizon, a single spark could turn their city into a pyre.

The Tethered Mage is the first novel in Caruso's debut series, Swords and Fire.

Dry Mouth...BE GONE!!
Flavor Name: Slightly Sweet, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
These are a fabulous product! I have been using them for years. As a CPAP patient, dry mouth during the night is a big issue. Xylimelts solves this completely. Each tablet has a concave side. After you moisten them in your mouth you stick the concave side onto your gums below your teeth, or inside of your cheek. There they stay firmly in place and slowly melt, keeping your mouth perfectly moist all night. My magic bullet is one on each side of my lower jaw and one stuck to the roof of my mouth. They last all night. Xylimelts come in several flavors. Slightly sweet is my favorite, because the mint is a little too strong for me. I cannot live without this product! My daughter does not have a CPAP machine but suffers with sinus congestion. She uses these every night to combat dry mouth associated with mouth breathing during sleep. PRO TIP: once you have them firmly in place, do not try to move them. They are solidly glued down and you can cause irritation by prying them up.

Xylimelts work! Don't leave home without them!
I love the mint free version of Xylimelts. The mint flavored ones are also good but I'm not a fan of mint. As far as working to alleviate dry mouth, they work. I'm able to use 1 Xylimelt per night and get about 6 hours of comfort. That is sufficient for my needs. The instructions say that you can use 2 Xylimelts at a time, if you need them. Properly moistened before holding in place on your gum, they will adhere tightly. There are certain products that make my life better and Xylimelts are one of them. While not mentioned in the literature, my experience is that using these over the last two years, I've experienced zero cavities. For me, this makes sense as the Xylimelts help prevent bacteria from adhering. Since dry mouth also encourages cavities, using them regularly give you a leg up at preventing cavities while keeping you comfortable all night. I've never used them in the daytime but they are unobtrusive and were certainly help with chronic dry mouth. Definitely works for me.

Sleep-aid
I've used Oracoat XliMelts for years at night time. I usually only need one for overnight. Keeps my throat dry so I don't keep waking up with a dry mouth.

Finally A Product that Works For Me
I have severe dry mouth. It's due to medication which I need. It was so bad my tongue would stick to the roof of my mouth and I couldn't open it again. I had really bad gun problems and lots of dental work from the infections that developed. Eventually I had to give Up a valuable medication. That was the last century and toothpaste and mouthwash weren't enough. I am.now taking medication that I wouldn't be able to if it weren't for Xylimelts. I found keeping up with the right mouthwash and using this does the trick. I do need some squirts of Biotene spray. That's instant saliva. Keeping this pouches against the gum has been a game changer. It doesn't show. I don't feel it except when it runs out, gets tiny and crumbles into my mouth. That is about two hours. A friend used it and it lasts four hours. I dont remember if I felt it after the first couple of days. It's curved design makes it undetectable. I think the first day of two I kept checking it stayed in place. It does. It doesn't need any particular placement. I put It on the tip of my finger and wherever it goes is fine. This really works. Finally a product that does work for very dry mouth. At night I put two in and they're still there in the morning. I m a mouth breather so the dry mouth was really hard on me comfort-wise. People try to be kind and suggest you have a drink of water. They don't know it's not thirst. I will say taking sips of whatever you like helps. But in the last century I had to give up a valuable medication because my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth so badly I couldn't open it again. Really embarrassing. It wasn't healthy for my gums either. This does it for me. I hope this helps other people who suffer from bad dry mouth or need it less often

I can Sleep Again!
I can get terrible dry mouth while sleeping. These have made it so I can sleep the whole night with out waking up to drink water. I love theses. Gave me back a good nights sleep. I use Two every night. Simple get it a little wet, then I place gently and hold to the outside of the top left molar for a few seconds. The glue will hold it in place with out fear of swallowing. Then I put one on the top right side. They stick well to teeth and can be easily removed. If you leave it alone and fall asleep, it will stay in place for 4-6 hours, providing gentle lubrication to keep your mouth moistened while sleeping. They make your mouth water a little, and the xylitol gives a little lubrication. These are great for mouth breathers and people with sinus issues. These are a real game changer for the better.
