The Awakening: The Truth about Order series, Book One.(Part 1, En Garde)

Thrown into a secret world on her birthday, college-student-turned-magi Melissa struggles to find a place amid a raging conflict she never knew existed. Between her enigmatic and deadly servant, Fawlk, and her entire world crumbling down around her, Melissa finds she needs to take the offensive before her situation becomes even worse.
Paul, an experienced and generally apathetic magi, spent the last several decades of his magical career bouncing from thrill to thrill, unconcerned with the consequences of his dangerous and deadly hobby. However, when his only real interest takes a turn for the worse, he suddenly finds every motivation he ever needed to throw himself headfirst into an underground crusade.
As the two come hurtling towards their prospective targets,  they'll find not only is war brewing, but they've thrown themselves directly into the middle of it.

This is Part 1 of my upcoming novel: The Awakening. Please feel free to comment or email me with any questions and/or discussion points. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy.
