Book excerpt: An epic battle looms as Omar, Myles, and Kasey raise up a new breed of Magi for war! Omar Metzger, earth's most brilliant scientist, is in a race against time to find his sister in another dimension before she dies in a coma. He has one week before his funding is cut, so without hesitation he enters a portal to an unknown world to prove his findings and hopefully save his sister. Myles Callaghan, an illusionist and con artist, has bitten off more than he can chew, swindling a Mafia don out of several million dollars. On the run, Myles goes much further than he could have imagined. He encounters Omar on the world of Musterion, and they form the Order of the Magi. Kasey is a hired assassin with orders to kill the Israeli Prime Minister. Betrayed, Kasey must escape before she is captured. As she crosses an archway in the Prime Minister's basement, she realizes she has crossed much more than the threshold of a door-it's a portal to another dimension. As these three unlikely companions join forces on Musterion, they must find their way through an ever changing maze, fight their inner demons, and then escape to a new world before the forces of evil close in on them. There Kasey is given a sword they must take to a carpenter, but the Great Red Dragon stands in the way. Rise of the Magi is filled with battle action, steampunk fantasy, and a touch of romance. It's Book One in an epic trilogy of the search for truth and redemption.
