FIRE (The Dark Magician Book 1)

Nothing exciting ever happens in Mundhovel. At least, that’s what Leon Hayes always thought. The young man was accustomed to the daily routine of going to college and spending too much time at home. But one day, everything changes. During a camping trip, Leon and his best friend Stephen stumble across a disturbing symbol in the midst of a vast forest. This turns out to be the least of their worries. Driven by a need to fulfill his curiosity, Stephen unearths an old tome from the center of the symbol and begins to read. This simple act triggers a series of events that reveals Mundhovel’s history…which is much darker than either of them had thought possible.

The tome, they soon learn, is a guidebook for followers of an ancient religion. These followers were once a threat to Mundhovel in its formational years, and now—after over a century of silence—they are returning in full force. Leon and Stephen are faced with a tantalizing question: which side will they choose to join? Will they side with those of the ancient religion, or will they fight against them? As the religion inexorably expands and threatens the safety of the town, the two friends come to realize that they are on opposite sides in the impending crisis.

Unless they can learn to fight a common enemy, they may destroy everyone they love — and themselves.
