The Glass Series is a fantasy trilogy set in the same world as Maria V. Snyder’s Study series but focuses on Opal Cowan, a young woman discovering the extent—and the cost—of her magical talents.
Opal, once a simple glassmaker’s apprentice, learns she has the rare ability to trap and channel magic within glass. This unique skill draws her into the complex politics and dangers of the magical world, where power struggles, betrayals, and dark threats loom large. As she hones her abilities, Opal faces challenges that test her courage, loyalty, and sense of self, forcing her to decide how far she’ll go to protect those she loves—and how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice.
The series mixes adventure, romance, magical battles, and a heroine learning to navigate both her powers and her heart, all while the fate of her world hangs in the balance.
