<i>Geomancer</i> (novel) book by Ian Irvine

Geomancer is the first book of the Well of Echoes quartet, written by Ian Irvine. It is set on the world of Santhenar, 200 years after the events of The View from the Mirror series. The old humans of Santhenar are engaged in a war against the Lyrinx, a monstrous humanoid race that emerged from The Void after the Forbidding was broken. The Council of Scrutators rule in this time of crisis with an iron fist, testing everyone to see where their talents lie, then forcing them into jobs where they are needed. People often feel unsatisfied with this, but any who refuse become 'non-citizens', people without any rights who can be imprisoned or sold into slavery. The council is constantly developing new ways to use the Secret Art to fight the Lyrinx threat while using the war to retain their power. One of the ways of using the art is the use of clankers, large eight to ten legged constructions, powered by crystals and produced in huge manufactories. In order to keep army numbers up, most men who can fight and have no other talents or have committed a crime not serious enough for execution are inducted into the military and sent to the front lines while breeding factories are set up for women to produce more raw recruits. Much propaganda is spread about the breeding factories and breeding in general by the Council, saying that it is the duty of all women to breed. However, most know the breeding factories are a punishment for women who disobey the law. Despite all these measures, the Council is slowly losing the war. Battles with the Lyrinx have been lost more than won and for every new tactic and advancement the council invents, the Lyrinx find a way to counter it.
