Book excerpt: A prophecy of untold power.A sorcerer with ruthless ambition.An ordinary boy from an unimportant village.The kingdom of New Batical stands at the edge of great upheaval. Whoever can harness the power of the prophecy will rule the land for generations. But no one knows where the power lies or who will reach it first.Amidst the waves of change, Wes just wants to pass his village's trial and ascend to adulthood. He isn't special, and he certainly has no magical abilities--or so he thought. What should have been a straightforward climb to the top of a mountain turns out to be something altogether different when Wes reaches the top.With life and death hanging in the balance, Wes isn't sure who he can trust.And nothing is ever as black and white as it seems.Peter Regg grew up outside of Boston and lives with his wife, Kim. He's a fan of fast-paced action/adventure fantasy and sci-fi, especially the kind that can transport him to worlds unlike his own--worlds without forty hours of actuarial math. When he's not writing, he's fighting losing battles with his wife about naming their future children after video game characters.
