True Magics

Rumours of Magic and War Thomas Flarety, Captain of the Student Expeditionary Company and hero of the battle for Frostmire, thought that convincing the Academy to take Eileen as their first female student in more than 200 years would bring him trouble enough. Then stories of Thomas's magic reached Hawksmouth. Now, Thomas's friends have started disappearing. The king has ordered Thomas to keep his magic hidden and to find the other magicians in the city. The Cult of the Daughter wants Thomas for one of their own. The Archbishop wants Thomas to surrender to the Inquisitors and redeem his soul, and preachers are raging in the streets against witchcraft, the Academy and the king. With Hawksmouth falling into chaos and the Academy divided against itself, Thomas must save his friends, find the other magicians, and decide what to do with his magic before the struggle between the king and the archbishop turns into an all-out war that will destroy everyone and everything he loves. Praise for Small Magics and Cold Magics! "Erik does a fantastic job of keeping the pages turning. The ending is worth the emotional roller coaster ride it takes to get there." - David Mary "It kept me up longer than I wanted on a couple of nights. It's amazing how Erik blends in character development with story line." - J. Michael Clark
