The
Reluctant Wizard
by
A.A. Warne
Genre:
Middle Grade Fantasy
By day, wizards rule the world. At night, warlocks seek to destroy it. Now, one boy will challenge them both.
Eli
never wanted to be a rebel. All he wants is an end to the famine and
war threatening his community. To save his mother and baby brother
from marauding warlocks, Eli is forced to make a heartbreaking
decision. He must travel to Terra Magicae, the mysterious land of the
wizards, to study magic. In exchange, the wizards will protect his
family, but this protection comes at a price: once Eli enters the
Grand Wizardry Academy, he may never come home.
Full
of lush landscapes and magical marvels, Terra Magicae is more
wondrous than Eli ever imagined… and more dangerous. At first,
Eli’s struggles to fit in at the Academy seem ordinary. But the
more he questions the wizards, the more he suspects a sinister
purpose behind their bizarre rules and tests. For a dark secret lies
at the heart of this mystical land, one so terrible it threatens not
only the students at the Academy but the lives of everyone Eli
loves.
To
save them all, Eli must step into the midst of the battle between the
wizards and warlocks and defy both sides. He must become the rebel he
was always meant to be.
A. A. Warne writes elaborate, strange, dark and twisted stories. In other words, speculative fiction.
