EXCERPT from Arcane (The Arinthian Line, #1)

Warlocks before their time …

Fourteen-year-old Augum and friends Bridget and Leera dream of
becoming warlocks. But with a kingdom in total chaos, it will take
courage, sacrifice, and an iron will to make that dream come true.

The Lord of the Legion, a vicious tyrant, has overthrown the king in
a relentless and murderous quest for seven mythic artifacts—and Augum’s
mentor, the legendary Anna Atticus Stone, possesses one. While Augum
struggles with demons from a painful childhood, a betrayal puts him, his
friends, and his mentor through a harrowing ordeal that threatens to
destroy them all … and change the course of history.

Arcane, the debut novel in the fantasy adventure series The
Arinthian Line, follows three friends as they navigate an ancient
abandoned castle, endure grueling training, challenge old mysteries, and
learn that a bond forged in tragedy might just be the only thing to
save them from a ruthless enemy.
