Dear ****,
War was supposed to be
glorious. Lewan volunteered gladly to fight for his king, but nothing
could have prepared him for the cold brutality of battle. His regiment
retreats and seeks shelter in an old crypt, accidentally activating an
ancient power that kills thousands of men instantaneously. Lewan, the
only soldier spared, flees the battlefield in a panic. Magic was just a
story told to scare small children, but what else could kill an army in
seconds?
Frightened and confused, Lewan reports the events to his
king, but no one believes him. No one, that is, except the watchers – a
secret organization dedicated to destroying magic. The watchers want to
eliminate the source of the magic, but a sorcerer long since thought
dead appears with an agenda of his own. On top of that, the king begins
to suspect the true cause behind the slaughter and seeks to understand
its meaning. A power struggle quickly ensues, a fight between men and
kingdoms to control a force long hidden from the land. Magic devastated
the realm in centuries past, and without interference it is posed to do
it again.
REIGN OF MAGIC is a completed 75,200 word fantasy for
young adult readers. It is told from four points of view: Lewan, the
watchers, the sorcerers, and the kings. I have one published short story
in Byline Magazine.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
****
