Mage in a Northern Town

A Jonathan Mage Novel

In John’s world, bad luck is a skill, the truth is a lie, and and the number thirteen is always suspicious.

We have long forgotten real magic. Forgotten those who reshape our world with subtle power. Forgotten why we fear the night and flee before the silent dark.

Forgotten that we are not alone.

When coincidence and bad luck strand John in Birchwood, he discovers a small town where ancient beings still stroll deserted streets, shimmering evil prowls in the shadows, and the innocent have no safe place to hide.

To protect a mysterious teenage girl from enemies old and new, John must now walk a dangerous path through two worlds: that of his modern exile and that of his supernatural past. A path where even one wrong step will doom the entire town.

But John is familiar with doom. With magic and with danger. With the truth, the lies, and everything in between. For John, the terror in Birchwood is just another day.

Even if that day becomes his last.
