Welcome to the Age of Magic
A time where earth was reshaped by the Electric Moon.
Where electricity is replaced by the power of the Xi.
A time where wizards are kings and queens, and a young girl named Gwyn searches for answers about her missing past.
...But she doesn't know much about magic-not until curiosity leads her to a world with wizard guilds, magic schools, goblins, sprites, enchanted weapons, and music that can change the heart of its listener.
Gwyn lived her younger years of childhood with few friends her age. It was a simple and modest upbringing, living happily with her grandparents. When she meets her best friends Jack and Chele she quickly realizes how much their companionship means to her. But the trio is destined for more than just fun and games, and they inevitably embark on a coming-of-age journey rich in magic, lore, fantastic beasts, and wondrous places that readers love getting lost in.
As the veil begins to lift, and secrets unfold, Gwyn learns that her missing parents were once the rulers of great kingdoms, a legacy that silently beckons for her to reprise the roles... somehow.
As Gwyn, Jack, and Chele train their abilities at the magic Academy in Silvania, unique challenges quickly reveal how difficult it is to find a proper place in the unfamiliar world of magic.
Just as things appear to be falling into place, Gwyn becomes drawn to an ancient relic thatchanges everything. The fateful path it leads them down reveals that a great evil lurks in the darkest corners of the world. A necromancer practicing banned magic awaits in the shadows of the Northern Kingdoms.
Authors note: I want to thank everyone for giving my work a chance. I truly hope you enjoy Gwyn's story. It's taken me over 15 years to develop the world, art, and script. Expect a semi-cozy beginning as you follow the character-driven narrative, and ends with a battle and rescue mission.
