It's been nine months since I had my first brush with Black Magic, nearly a year since the Fairy Realms were cut off from our world. My life has become peaceful, routine. I have friends, I have a girlfriend, and all is right with the world. Or it was, anyway. One night is all it takes for things...

My twin brother has started to go mad, and my powers are the cause. Nobody knows how to stop it, and all the facts are telling me that unless I can cure him, my brother is very likely going to try and kill me soon. And that's just how this whole mess starts. From there I run face first into a...

Archons, Fanatics, Fairies, Black Magic, Shadowborn. As if my life wasn't already complicated enough, now the Archons are back, and they're searching for their lost brother. My school is overrun by a new crop of Magicians who can't keep civil tongues in their heads. An ancient group of...
