"This Is How A Hero Is Forged..."

Masters & Mages is set in a new world, a world of a thousand shades of gray; a world where old ideas of social class are dwindling, and where the power of cannon and guns may yet eclipse the power of magik. Aranthur Timos is a mage who wants to be a swordsman; a young man who wants many things he does not have, and when he falls into the midst of of a bewildering web of plots, he rises to the challenges. But when the excitement of success wears off, Aranthur has to ask what side he’s on, and what the price might be…

Cold Iron is the first book in the Masters & Mages trilogy.

I also created a reader's guide for the world of Masters & Mages, which you can download here.
