The Hidden Cost of Magic

Real magic has always claimed a high price from those brave, or ruthless, enough to wield its power. Only one man can stop humanity becoming a race of slaves.

Deadly Magic.

An impossible book.

A last desperate roll of the dice…

Real magic has always claimed a high price from those brave – or ruthless – enough to wield its power. One obscure book could overturn everything those magicians thought they knew. If what it claims is true, a single talented and dedicated practitioner might change the world. Not just in the present, but in the past – and the future.

In 1999, this book falls into the hands of one man. One man, with the potential to rewrite reality. One man standing in the way of a sinister group who want to turn the world’s politicians into their puppets. One man who can stop humanity becoming a race of slaves.

That one man is Roger Philburn. He’s a postman with a gambling problem who lives with his mother in South London.

Sometimes, we don’t get the hero we need. We get the hero we deserve.
