It’s a good thing I had to post my Dragon Awards update last week. Because apparently, this book already came out.
Somehow, I’m on the cover again. How? Why? No one tells me, and frankly, I don’t ask. They may realize their mistake and take me off.
Premise:
Have you ever wanted to go to magic school? To cast spells and brew potions and fly on broomsticks and - perhaps - battle threats both common and supernatural? Come with us into worlds of magic, where students become magicians and teachers do everything in their power to ensure the kids survive long enough to graduate. Welcome to ... Fantastic Schools.
Meet the students preparing for magical war, learning how to wield sorcerous weapons or fantastic talents in defence of the world; meet the magicians testing their abilities in worlds touched by the fantastic and the supernatural, or the magicians completing their final exams – or going to war, learning on the job as the darkness moves ever-closer to home. Meet the students who think they have all the time in the world, and the ones who discover that their training has suddenly become all too real.
The glory of war awaits them, in these pages, but so too does the price …
My story?
If you’ve read the previous books, you might remember the character of Manu Stewart. He started off auditing school security… then a class … then had a lab for a class go sideways.
Then someone asks “What’s War Like?”
Manu Stewart is going to show them what war is like. The school can conjure up Normandy beach. It’s just like a Star Trek holodeck…
And nothing has ever gone wrong on a Star Trek holodeck before.
Maybe a slightly better version of Harry Potter?
