A Festival of Magic

About this ebook
The midwinter festival is supposed to celebrate magic, not murder...
For Abyowith, going to Abraniotok’s Festival of Magic was a way to feel better about her first winter away from home. But when her girlfriend Lisyrith tries to confess her love using paired magic rings, Abyowith panics – and not just because she can’t make magic work.
Then, as Abyowith is trying to find a way to explain it all, a giant miscreation leaps on the festival stage, bites a magician in half, and runs off into the city.
As the knights search for the monster, Abyowith and the Stalkers must learn who sent the beast and why. Only no one seems to know who the victim was, let alone have a reason to kill them.
Now, with more victims appearing and mobs of enraged citizens taking to the streets, Abyowith must stop the miscreation and find the one who sent it before the city descends into chaos.
...and she still needs to figure out what to say to Lisyrith.
Erik Buchanan
Erik Buchanan started reading at age two and has been hooked ever since. He met the Hardy Boys when he was six, Bilbo Baggins when he was eight, and cried for an hour when he was ten because that really shouldn’t have happened to Frodo toward the end of The Two Towers. It was also at age 10 that Erik thought, “maybe I could write a story.”Before he was 12 Erik had attempted a novel, an epic poem in rhyming couplets and various bits of stories. In high school he kept writing, and managed to create an impressive portfolio of maudlin teen-age angst-filled poetry that has thankfully not survived.It was in his last year of high school, in the creative writing class of Mr. Robert Currie, poet laureate of Saskatchewan and an amazing English teacher, where Erik where he had the first vague notions of “being a writer.” He kept writing through university, even as the theatre sunk its teeth and claws into him. He came out of university with a B.F.A., a pair of black belts, and a desire to be on the stage.Erik moved to Toronto and spent years pursuing (but never quite catching) a career as an actor and a fight director. He wrote his first novel in a small attic room in a downtown rooming house, sitting on a cushion on the floor with his laptop perched on a box in front of him. Shortly after, he wrote Small Magics, which was picked up by Gwen Gades of Canada’s Dragon Moon Press. Shortly after that his daughter was born and his writing slowed considerable. Still, he managed to produce “Cold Magics,” and finish the trilogy with “True Magics.”Then depression hit.It took five years on medication before Erik managed to escape the grip of the depression. During that time, he worked as a ghostwriter, penning 10 books and editing others for his clients. He also came up with the idea for the Stalker Chronicles.Erik still lives and works in Toronto, and looks forward to sharing his new series with everyone.
