The Nullweaver Cycle is a collaboration between co-creators Mabel Harper and Emrys Webb, and set in the Form and Void multiverse. The setting and story are notable for featuring a large LGBT cast, highlighting transgender protagonists, and openly processing sexual trauma.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Set in a switchblade-and-sorcery modern day Chicago, The Nullweaver Cycle novels feature a queer cast, apocalyptic themes, and aesthetics inspired by action-adventure anime series.The story begins when a hijacked war golem turns on the crowd at a meeting of the Auctoritas Magicae, and prodigy apprentice Jules Nimri deploys his newly-developed "combat alchemy" to bring down the automaton — but only after the construct has slaughtered dozens. Accusations fly in the aftermath of the tragedy, rekindling an ancient inter-faction feud that could plunge the arcane world into war.Meanwhile, in nearby Chicago, young ex-mage Rory Navarrete is swept back up in the esoteric life he left behind when he stumbles on a coven of apostate mages in the middle of a ritual human sacrifice. After striking them down with his own forbidden magic, Rory rushes the victim to the Auctoritas Magicae's Enclave to seek treatment for a supernatural injury — only to be clapped in irons the moment he sets foot on premises.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Jules negotiates Rory’s release, tentatively reviving a childhood friendship that ended in betrayal. The star-crossed odd couple join forces to investigate the murderous apostates — only to find clues of a deep conspiracy, and a malignant magic long thought extinct. Their discovery could prevent tensions from boiling over, but finding proof is no easy task, and time’s working against them, as Hunter Lockwood, scion of a potent magic dynasty — and Jules’s depraved ex-betrothed — stokes the fires of separatism to fuel his own political rise, pushing the alliance toward the brink much faster than anyone could have imagined. The series so far consists of:

Hermetic Magic: The first paragraph of the novel muses on the bonds between heavenly bodies and earthly ones and astrology, and start with the classical Hermetic phrase "As above, so below". The story also features Hermetic schools of magic like alchemy, demonology, and divination. One of the major factions of the Auctoritas Magicae is even named the Hermetic Order of Khmun.

Fantastic Underclass: Inter-faction law classifies users of certain schools of magic as "apostates", whom the Auctoritas Magicae aggressively seek and control. In the story, Rory (who has an intuitive understanding of maleficium, the school used to harm other's bodies) and Perfect Elisha (who likewise uses cogimancy to read and manipulate other's minds) must keep their abilities secret to avoid imprisonment, punishment, or execution.

Glamour: Several glamors are introduced in the story, ranging from a set of city-spanning ones used to hide the supernatural attributes of the story's Wainscot Society, to a card that appears to be whatever mundanes most expect to see. Most glamors only work on mundanes and are distinguishable to the eyes of mages, but a master enchanter is capable of making artifacts that cast illusions powerful enough to fool even mages' eyes.

Unequal Rites

comment
Unequal Rites: An apostate is any mage that violates the laws of the Auctoritas Magicae. Some of these mages learn apostatic magics formally, but some mages are simply born with an intuitive understanding and approach to an apostate art, their forbidden gifts manifesting during childhood. Regardless of origin, they are persecuted and are either imprisoned, mutilated, or executed if found.

comment
Content Warnings: Each chapter opens with content warnings at the beginning, which can be expanded to specify the context without spoilers. For example, the first chapter has a content warning for misgendering that reads "a young trans man is deliberately, repeatedly deadnamed and called by the wrong pronouns". The authors' statement at the beginning of the book opens with, "This book (besides being a fun, kickass action-fantasy epic) has processing of sexual trauma and transcendence of heteronormative patriarchal oppression as two of its central themes. It includes explicit scenes of harassment, misgendering, abuse, and sexual and physical assault that many readers may find upsetting.... If you’re in such a sensitive place, we encourage you to do what feels best for yourself and read with mindfulness and caution, or maybe not at all. (We totally understand.)"

Badass Bookworm: Jules can read at least four languages, and is well-read on a wide range of research papers, theses, and ancient texts. In addition to this, Jules is also a member of the Order of Martial Magi, having developed his magic specialties for use in combat. For example, during the opening of the story when Jules is presenting a paper before the Tribunal (similar to PhD thesis presentations), he defeats war golems as evidence of his experimental findings in a field of alchemy he has pioneered.

Ban on Magic: Certain schools of magic are restricted or banned by the Auctoritas Magicae, such as mind-control magic (cogimancy), body-harming magic (maleficium), and some methods of receiving supernatural insight (pythias). In addition to these specific schools, mages are banned from discussing or practicing magic in the presence of mundanes.
