Michael P. Frame is a proud nerd on a lifelong quest to cram as much magic, adventure, and larger-than-life storytelling into a single book as humanly possible. Growing up, he found refuge in fantasy worlds, superheroes, and epic sagas stories where the underdogs rise, the impossible becomes reality, and heroes are shaped by struggle, not just strength. His writing is fueled by that same passion, designed to scratch every nerdy itch at once. Born and raised in the beautiful landscapes of Oregon, Michael has a deep love for the wild, the weird, and the wondrous. When he s not crafting new worlds, he s enjoying time with his family, exploring nature, or hanging out with his loyal dogs. He believes in the power of storytelling to inspire, to heal, and to remind us all that no matter how dark things get, there s always a spark of magic waiting to shine through.

Klappentext

In humanity s distant future, magic has returned violently. After vanishing for millennia, it surged back alongside the Celestials, an alien race once mistaken for gods or devils. Now, war consumes the solar system: high-tech armies clash with resurrected monsters, while ancient species like elves, dwarves, and giants ally with humans to hold the line against Lucifer s dark forces. Above the chaos floats Phoenix Island, a hidden sanctuary created by the legendary wizard Merlin before his death a place where magic never stopped thriving and where the pursuit of its advancement continues to evolve in isolation, protected by the dying dream of its creator. Jeremiah Drarocca is one of twenty-three demigod children rescued by Phoenix Island during the Celestial Zeus s genocidal purge against their kind. While the others now live scattered across the island, training for the day they can return to the battlefield and take revenge, Jeremiah is the only one sent to the monster city of Grimm a place of unpredictable dark magic and uneasy political alliances to attend school. Jeremiah isn t like the other demigods he isn t like anyone. Within him flows an impossible fusion of bloodlines: both Celestial god and Celestial devil. It s a contradiction that should not exist, and it s the reason he was sent to Grimm, the city of monsters, to learn control over the darkness. Adopted by a dragon, Jeremiah struggles with his identity, his staggering power, and the uncertainty of youth. As tensions rise and war looms ever closer, the path his power will carve remains unknown but it may shape the fate of the entire war. Join Jeremiah as he steps into a school unlike any other where monsters roam the halls, secrets whisper through enchanted corridors, and one uncertain demigod may hold the key to magic s future. His journey to understand himself is just beginning.
