The Last Magus (eBook)

Imagine a world exactly like our own, a parallel world. It has all the modern trappings of technology and gadgets we associate with our world, from mobile phones and the internet to coffee makers and computers. In fact, it is in every aspect a carbon copy of our world except this world has magic! Nobody uses it though as the people forgot about it. So, the magic went into hiding and waited along with all the fantasy creatures. Now ask yourself, what happens when an average person, someone just like you or I, suddenly rediscovers this magical power? How does he or she deal with the ability to turn their life around on a dime and have all their dreams come true at the mere wave of a hand? Joseph Winstanton is such an ordinary person, an average Joe. The Last Magus is the first of a series which follows Joe's development as the world's only true wizard. In acquiring and re-learning magic that has lain dormant for six millennia he also risks more than he knows as an ancient evil lies sound asleep, an evil intent on destroying the whole of existence, an evil that Joe's magic risks awakening after his six-thousand-year slumber. This first book, The Last Magus, covers Joe's awakening and the immediate aftermath of his monumental discovery, as well as his realization of just what his newfound magic ability may cost himself and everything he knows and cares about. Note: This is the first of a multi-novel series.
