Description:

Book one in the hit new series!

Tor Baker is a builder. A person that creates the magic that makes the kingdom of Noram function.

At least he will be one, if his first project hasn't failed miserably, and if he manages not to be expelled from school for taking unscheduled time off to try it.

What Tor doesn't know is that his innocent little project has caught the attention of some very powerful people, and the world he thought he knew his whole life, is a lie.

Between his own innocence, and a world filled with royalty and power, the humble little baker's boy from the backwoods is going to have to scramble if he doesn't want it to all fall apart, or end up in the gallows for making a few simple mistakes.

From the Author

How would I describe Tor?

He's brilliant, innocent, and troubled.

That's the part that always jumps out at me when I get to work on a book with him in it. He's such a wonderful character, always trying to do the right thing, but he can't quiet help but push it a little too far. Always going that extra mile for his friends, but never really understanding what they want or need.

I'll bet you've met a person or two like that.

This story isn't what you'll expect, so be ready for that. There are layers of things placed around to keep you interested. Don't forget to read the other works too! This is the story of a boy growing and changing in a world that is very different than our own, but at the same time eerily familiar. (Really, I can't say a lot more without giving out spoilers and that would just be wrong!)

I hope you like the book!

Now, I guess we could say that others thinking that reflects more about them than me...

But when your hobbies include dressing up in a bat suit and fighting crime in the worlds most dangerous city...

Oh, wait, that wasn't me.

Never mind.
