The Black Magician Trilogy – Trudi Canavan

The Black Magician Trilogy is YA, but if you've never read it before, don't be put off. If you love magic in your imagination, the title should indicate that this is something you require in your life. If you want to move on from a specific boy wizard, this will be the series to help you do it.

Trudi Canavan's fantasy fiction series The Black Magician trilogy is set in Australia. The volumes follow Sonea, a slum-dwelling girl who, while being born and reared in Imardin's slums, finds that she possesses innate magical skills often reserved for the upper classes. They explain her attempts to avoid arrest by the Magicians' Guild and regain control of her talents, her struggle to fit in and study magic, and, finally, her attempts to save Kyralia using the one sort of magic that is prohibited to employ. Despite the fact that the series is just three novels long, it is supplemented by a prologue called The Magician's Apprentice and a sequel series named The Traitor Spy trilogy.
