Magician's Heir
α’αααΈααααα βααΆααα‘ααααα
What if reality is the worst form of madness?
Loneliness, a failing magic business, and stacks of unpaid bills make amateur magician Adam Grayβs life one of unending drudgery and desperation. Heβs trapped in the tiny town of Elliston, and excitementβs not exactly knocking down his door.
Until it does.
A cryptic peddler, peculiar merchandise, and insatiable curiosity combine to tear Adam away from the mundane safety of his everyday existenceβ¦ and into the impossible world of Tantris: a land of giants, mages and the magic Adamβs hoped for his entire life. But is this a world of sanity or madness? A dream or nightmare? Adam must answer these questions, and soon.
Because Tantris has a mortal enemyβruthless, evil and hungry for the souls of the innocent. And the Dark Mage just chose Adam as his next victim.

D. Bruce Cotton grew up in a small rural town in central Kentucky. A certified bibliophile, when he wasnβt digging through the local storeβs latest delivery of comic books, you could usually find him camped out in a corner of the town library, avidly reading the literary masters: Isaac Asimov, Edgar Rice Burroughs and J.R.R. Tolkien. After graduating from college with a somewhat useless degree in English, he went to work for Uncle Sam, serving as a statistical clerk at a nerve gas laboratory, a public affairs specialist at a tank depot, and for 28 years as a writer and editor for PS Magazine, an Army comic book designed to teach Soldiers how to care for their equipment. Now retired, Bruce lives in Cold Spring, KY, with his wife, Cindy, and Gracie, their 6-year-old standard poodle. Heβs the author of seven books in the epic Dark Mage fantasy series: Magician's Dawn (a series prequel), Magicianβs Heir, Magicianβs Return, Magicianβs Quest, Magicianβs Loss, Magician's War, and Magician's Genesis.
