Donovan would prefer to die in his bed but circumstances might force him to do otherwise. When he is tasked with Retrieving a young child thought to be a magus, the most powerful magic user in any generation, he is thrown headfirst into a world of intrigue and deception where any move he makes could be the one that shifts his people into a position of bloodshed and failure.
There is a war brewing, a war centuries old, between the Hunters, blood mages and child-snatchers, and the born mages, people of the Order, the school of magic and scholarly pursuit. Donovan must learn who to trust and how to endure suffering as he finds more and more about the nature of this endless war and what it means to be a fighter.

Excerpt:

Slowly, ever so slowly, he strode into the room of his mind and opened that window that led to the outside. It took great effort of will not to slam it shut again - pain flared through his skull, flashing lights bounced behind his closed eyes. Sound was an unbearable pressure, almost physically pushing him deeper into his chair. His mouth erupted with the flavors of his last meal, old now, and his clothes snagged and pulled and tore at his skin, now so sensitive.

He forced himself to let the flood of senses pass over and through him as he pushed his consciousness through the window in his mind. Separated from his body the assault was dimmed though, as always, his time was limited. His consciousness shot outward, far across the earth along those unseen paths in every direction. From here, he could See the life-lines of the world, all of them glowing and sparkling through him to form the great map in his mind.

He could See Lucas's glow in the shop and that bright, bright shine from the magus almost in hand. Dozens and dozens of other lights shone throughout the town, but he ignored them, searching for the was harder to spot. As he suspected: two faded glows moved through the town. He placed them on the map of his mind and felt his panic begin to build.

About the Author

Morgan Chalut is assured by her six older siblings that she was born in Richardson, Texas, though she does not remember the event. There were witnesses and, eventually, photographs. They include pink. And petticoats. (Thanks, dad!)

Both of her parents were teachers of various flavors, and despite walls lined with bookshelves, it still took her a bit or urging to start reading on her own. (Thanks mom!) When she did, she was not to be stopped. Martial Arts gave her the nickname \"Head Hunter,\" but the books called her \"The Devourer.\" She lived in the worlds brought to life by the words on the page and at the first opportunity, she started writing her own.

School was a rollercoaster, and ultimately she learned improvisational acting and built enough confidence to talk to strangers without crying. She practices this skill frequently. Her husband, a textbook introvert, hates it, and insists that people in line at the airport and grocery store should be left alone. Psh! Nonsense! What does he know?

After a series of odd jobs, some more exciting and dangerous than others, she has found a love of efficiency, paperwork and checklists, but needs them to involve fewer phone calls. Fingers crossed!

She still lives in Texas with her amazing, delightful, silly, charming, and handsome husband (it\'s okay to be jealous) and their two dogs. Caramel loves you already and Sammie is currently imagining peeing on your grave. No hard feelings.
