Book Blurb:
Meet
Simon Warner, a fourteen-year-old who drowned. Death was just the beginning.
Dying awakens an angry and malevolent force inside Simon–magic, and before he
can comprehend his mystical transformation his adopted father is kidnapped
during a mysterious fire that destroys their home.
Within
hours Simon is violently yanked into the supernatural world, where the real
trouble starts: he is the descendent of an evil sorcerer, and the magical
community isn't exactly welcoming of him. Making matters worse, Simon finds
himself on a collision course with the forces of the deranged Silas Darrow, a
charming yet xenophobic warlock who fears humanity will one day eradicate all
magic. In order to protect "his" people, this false messiah intends
to strike first.
Magic--it
may have saved Simon's life, but it may have just doomed the world.
Author Bio:
I'm Clay Held, a refugee from wild
world of video game testing, currently a project manager passing my days in the
wild (and very flat) plains of Central Illinois. Once upon a time I was the
editor for Grassroots Literary Magazine at Southern Illinois University
Carbondale, where I earned my Bachelors of Arts in Creative Writing. Today I
help make sure software ships on time, and at night I'm busy making things up
and writing them down.
In my spare time (what is that
again?) I like to read and cook and play with my cats and maintain my blog at
www.clayheld.com. When the weather is right, I go storm spotting. Illinois is
good like that.
