Rise of the Magi

A small black sphere contains all the magic that exists - past, present, and future. Without it, two worlds would not survive: a world of enchantment called Rune, and ours. The sphere has been protected for centuries by a spell that was believed unbreakable. Asa Stone, an unremarkable young man in a place of magic, discovers that the spell has been breached and a small chip of the black sphere has been stolen. Now an unspeakable evil threatens to use the stolen magic to destroy literally all of existence. With nowhere else to turn and the fate of two worlds in his hands, Asa must put his trust in a band of outlaw magicians, conniving thieves, renegade sorcerers, and heartless killers. Asa Stone's dreams of a life less mundane come abruptly and horribly true as he finds himself in possession of incalculable power and trapped in a strange and terrifying place called Earth. Marc Silvestri, the co-creator of The Darkness and Witchblade and the creator of Cyber Force, presents an epic adventure that follows a common young man on a journey that turns the ideas of fantasy and reality upside down!
