Thomas Gown's connection to a group of powerful wizards who lived thousands of years ago is finally revealed, and he learns that he may be able to save his world and his civilisation, along with others beyond number, from a threat that will manifest itself in the far distant future, but that the only way he can do this is by accepting a destiny that has been chosen for him by ancient, implacable powers centuries ago. If he does this, though, it would mean sacrificing any hope for a normal life and leaving his home, his wife and his child forever...
My name is Zane Thomas. This isn't an account of a normal student's last year in college. I'm here to tell you a secret: something that has been kept from the vast majority of the world for a very long time. Magic is real. Magic is the ability of specific people to affect multiple levels of reality. We call ourselves Magi. I'm worried that recent patterns are leading to an event that will change our world, and the Magi forever. That's why I'm writing this now. Because maybe later I won't have the chance.
"The Unveiling" is the first book in the Modern Magic Trilogy.
