Extended description

When apprentice wizard Adramal moves to a new school to complete her training, she discovers that several ritual murders have been committed by magic, threatening the fabric of the world.

Can she find what she needs before the killer strikes again or - worse - without blowing her cover and putting her own life in danger?

Review by: Madison Keller on Aug. 06, 2012 :
This book starts out reading like a standard 'Wizard's School' book, but don't let that fool you. Its actually a very well written murder mystery featuring magic.

The main character is very well written, I was quite surprised the author is a male, as the main character is female.

Very well written and edited, you won't be able to put it down.

Review by: Gordon A. Long on July 26, 2011 : (no rating)
Death and Magic looks like a standard “apprentice wizard” story, but don’t expect magical or cute. The setting is a huge old ruined fortress with only one habitable wing. The genre is murder mystery. The main character is charismatic and believable. Better yet, the use of magic has defined limits.

Smoothly written and professionally edited, with a story line and main character that draw you in from the start, this book is definitely a cut above the usual offerings in the ebook world.
