City of Broken Magic by Mirah Bolender

In a city plagued by magical weapons, an elite squad of non-magical humans must defuse the threat before it consumes everything.

Five hundred years ago, magi created a weapon they couldn't control - an infestation that devoured magic and anything else it touched, with enemies and allies equally filling its path.

Now, only an elite team of non-magical humans known as sweepers can defuse and dispose of these infestations before they spread. Most die before completing their training, but Laura, a new team member, has survived longer than most. As the last sweeper standing between the city and a massive infestation, Laura must put her skills to the ultimate test.

City of Broken Magic is the fast-paced, adventure fantasy debut of Mirah Bolender's Chronicles of Amicae series, which features:

- A unique magic system with infestations that consume magic and threaten the world

- An elite squad of non-magical humans tasked with defusing these magical threats

- Strong, capable female lead characters facing impossible odds

- Elements of steampunk, dark humor, and political intrigue in an immersive fantasy setting
