The Towers Trilogy is an Urban Fantasy series by Karina Sumner-Smith.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Xhea lives in a post-apocalyptic city where magic serves as currency. Those rich in magic reside in great floating skyscrapers called Towers, while the poor must scrape out a living in the ruined Lower City below, always wary of the night walkers which emerge from the wastes to savagely murder anyone caught without shelter.Life is particularly difficult for Xhea because she has no magic at all, meaning she is perpetually broke. Even if someone else transfers magic to her, her body can't process it; it quickly burns away while affecting Xhea like a drug.Her complete lack of magic does offer one advantage in that it allows her to go into the city underground, which is painfully toxic to those with magic, in order to recover antiques from before the Fall. She also has another useful talent: the ability to see ghosts, a rare power that allows her to mediate between the dead and living and assist those who suffer from hauntings. Between the artifact-hunting and the ghost work, she's just barely able to keep herself fed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Everything changes for Xhea one day when a man comes to Xhea dragging the ghost of a girl behind him. Xhea offers her usual services; but the ghost, Shai, turns out to be anything but usual. She is a Radiant, a wellspring of magic power; and even dead, her ghost produces more magic power than everyone else in the Lower City combined. Suddenly in possession of a fortune which she herself cannot use but which anyone else would kill for, Xhea finds herself suddenly beset by enemies from all sides. And as she fights for her life and Shai's freedom, a dark magic begins to awaken within her: an uncontrollable power which threatens to bring death to all around her.The series consists of Radiant, Defiant, and the forthcoming Towers Fall. | |

Heroic RRoD | |
| Towers Trilogy / int_1440584e | comment |
Heroic RRoD: At the climax of Radiant, Xhea draws so deeply on her dark magic that she feels something inside herself break. Over the course of Defiant, the nature of the damage is revealed: she broke a Power Limiter her mother placed on her to suppress her dark magic and keep it from killing her. | |

Harmful Healing: One of the side-effects of Xhea being an Un-Sorcerer is that healing magic causes her agonizing pain. On one occasion, she's taken to a hospital and a well-intentioned doctor gives her a magic IV, which nearly kills her. | |

Un-Sorcerer | |
| Towers Trilogy / int_2d834a85 | comment |
Un-Sorcerer: There are many people with very little magic, but Xhea is the only person who has no magic whatsoever. This poses a number of problems: since magic serves as the currency of the setting, she is perpetually impoverished; and since her lack of magic causes pain to anyone who touches her, she is a pariah. | |

Older Than They Look: Xhea is 15 years old, but looks only about 12. She believes that her dark magic has stunted her growth, though considering her perpetual poverty it's also possible that malnutrition is a factor. | |

Power Incontinence | |
| Towers Trilogy / int_571a3c67 | comment |
Power Incontinence: Magic is tied to emotion, and losing control can result in a release of power called "radiating". People with potent magic are trained from childhood to control their magic energy using breathing exercises. Xhea never received such training, as everyone believed she had no magic; when her dark magic finally awakens, her radiating turns her into a Walking Wasteland. | |

Genius Loci: When she hears the Heart of Eridian singing, Xhea realizes that the Towers are alive. Ahrent Altaigh later tells her that exposure to magic changes thing; enough magic over enough time can give life to the inanimate. This leads Xhea to eventually realize that the entire Lower City is an enormous dark magic Genius Loci. | |

Walking Techbane: Xhea becomes one when her dark magic awakens. Technically, it only disrupts other magic, not pure technology; but due to the magitek nature of the City, even devices which appear purely mechanical in nature are often powered by magic behind the facade. As a result, Xhea can't so much as press an elevator call button without shorting something out. | |

And I Must Scream: Radiants produce more magic than their bodies can contain, causing them constant agony and eventual death. Because the vast amount of magic they produce makes them valuable, the Towers go to great lengths to keep them alive for as long as possible — and when they do finally do, they bind the ghost into a new body to start the process over again. | |
