The Mancer of Fire is part-one of a multi-POV epic second-world fantasy about a reluctant hero, and the consequences of his inactions. It blends alternate worlds, adventure, and political intrigue, with coming of age, a splash of taboo, and a foundation of magical realism.

Malo's senior year after winter break is off to a bleak start. His collegiate and professional prospects are grim at best. Until a strange classmate - Mina - tricks him into entering an alternate realm full of every magical race and creature he thought to be legend, myth, and folklore.

Malo's arrival in Vallistia does not go unnoticed. A seven-year-old prophecy outlines Malo's defeat of the realm's desperate high king. Those in power desire to keep up the status quo, while those without wish to shatter it.

Mina leads Malo through the realm of Vallistia, encountering mermaids, unicorns, werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters, and a family-rival sorcerer or two. Mina also begins to teach Malo how to unlock his elemental powers of fire.

The only way for the pair of them to return to the normal world again is through finding Malo's estranged father, who had been spending the last several years in this alternate realm accumulating political favor.

Malo's travels have rippling consequences throughout the realm. Thousands will die, but if he is successful, millions will live. One thing certain, everyone's lives have changed forever:

Including Susan, a transgender elf whose father goes missing during a routine hunting trip. Her struggles with family and friends are overshadowed when a local gang takes special interest in his disappearance.

Caroline, a human girl trapped in a city controlled by debaucherous vampires. She must outsmart her attackers, as well as her housemates to stay alive.

Tyselo, a sorcerer and unwilling underling of High King Rolland, loyal to only his family; including his granddaughter, Mina.

Irior, the shark-shapeshifter. His self-righteousness mixed with his incompatibility with the high king leads him down a rabbit hole that could start the largest-scale war in this realm's history.
