Source Mage, Book 1 of the Awakened World Series
“In the Awakened World of twenty-first-century North America, the Fey Sleep no longer hides magic from humankind–but many wish it did. Their uneasy truce with fairies, elves, and other supernatural creatures is fragile at best, and without functioning technology, every day is a struggle for survival. Angie Ritter is an involuntarily retired combat mage battling the demons of PTSD as well as literal monsters. When a mysterious blood cult begins hunting her werewolf colleagues, she’s pressed back into service to save them. Will her sword and sorcery be any match for Shrike helicopters and machine guns? This action-packed military fantasy will leave you breathless.” Kim H., Copyeditor, Red Adept Editing
About the Book
I was five when the dragons first appeared … and the lights went out for good.
Now, eighteen years after the cataclysmic appearance of the four great dragons over Mount Fuji, humanity shares a shattered Earth with the Fey—fairies, elves, and other supernatural creatures. Trust is short, magic is common, and each day is a struggle for survival in the Awakened World of 2053.
I’m Angie Ritter, a former army mage who can’t cast spells anymore.
I have some issues. I’m working on them.
Unfortunately, the army wasn’t as accommodating as I would have hoped and gave me the boot. Now, I survive day by day in Sanwa City, a walled settlement in southern California, doing menial labor and pretty much hiding from the world. Without my magic, I can’t help myself, let alone anyone else, but when my old army buddy Erin—an elite werewolf shock trooper—comes to me for help, I can’t say no. Now, I just need to pull myself together—and fast. Because someone’s hunting werewolves, and Erin is their new prey.
And if I get in their way, they’re going to carve me up too.
Thing is, I’m done with hiding.
