Our epic fantasy novels focus on courage, loyalty, tolerance, and hope. We believe in heroes who are actually heroic. Our protagonists are not perfect, but even when they make mistakes, they still strive for fairness, justice, and integrity.
The Doorway to Magic Trilogy
He thought it was a joke. Now, his deceit may hand a tyrant the crown…
Fabren Lacalian never foresaw consequences like this. Teaming with his master for a vengeful prank, the half-human magician forged a false prophecy to embarrass the wizards who belittled them. But after his teacher is murdered by a sinister pretender claiming to be the heir they foretold, the terrified apprentice flees for his life as the sole custodian of the truth.
Riddled with guilt and hunted by assassins, Fabren finds an unlikely ally in an archivist who believes wholeheartedly in the escalating lie. And with only his meager keyhole magic to protect them from the vile usurper’s minions, the sham seer may be the author of everyone’s destruction.
Embark on Fabren’s journey from the penniless apprentice of a swamp wizard to one of the most powerful wizards of the realm in the Doorway to Magic trilogy.
The adventure begins in The Keyhole Wizard.
