The Sword of Life (Chronicles of the Magi Book 1)

For centuries the Five Magi have been trapped among the stars, unable to return to the living world. All that time they have been brooding, weaving their plans, and gathering mystical power from the cosmos. Soon they will return and enslave mankind.

Altor, a young warrior monk, is just starting out on life's journey. A dying man charges him with a desperate quest. To prevent the return of the Five Magi, Altor must gather the scattered parts of the Sword of Life and learn how to use it against the greatest evil the world has ever known.

An epic quest of friendship and courage for middle-grade readers and up.
