Mage Revealed
Book
Two of The Magic Withheld series
Struck with enough malevolent Spirit to turn him into a
raving beast of a man, Bert Reese fights to remain human. Alone, he walks a
slender path between sanity and madness. Then, an unlikely source enters his
life to help—one of the now-hated mages.
But Ashleigh is different and calms his butchered senses. Her
fierce nature is the only rock that stands between him and the crevasse that is
beast. In all ways, she walks beside him toward a new beginning.
But at the end
of their journey lies the one who used Spirit against him. Questions arise; did
Tiarra, head of the Imperium, lose her magic, die, or simply give way to the
new order? Or, like a spider, does she wait for a mage to blunder into her web?
Forced on him without a care for his humanity, Bert is the
mage who should not exist, born with a different kind of magic.
And the gates of Hell are no match for the magic he wields.
Author C.D. Coffelt’s world of magic started in Wilder Mage with the words “The earthquake wasn’t his fault. Not this
time.” It continues in Mage Revealed,
the second book of the three-part series. Watch the book trailer on YouTube.
Excerpt
from Mage Revealed
Energy slithered
around him, encased him and…
Bonded.
All the elements
slammed into him at once filling him like a bursting dam, sloshing into a
maelstrom of Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and Spirit. Magic filled him, cascaded
into every pore of his skin until there was nothing left that was of his
essence.
He raised his
arms. “I am a wizard,” he said.
His words echoed,
like the roll of a bass drum in an empty coliseum.
From his
fingertips, fluid lightning forked and shot into the empty sky. A violent
whirlwind as tall as he wanted it to be caught up a whirl of leaves. A roar of
Fire sprang from the palms of his hands, crowned his head. And Spirit, the
silvery element waited for his command, to charge into any foray he so chose.
He turned to the
panting women, frozen in the grip of panic and fright.
“I am a wizard,”
he said again.
C.D. Coffelt
lives outside Skidmore, Missouri with a bemused husband and way too many cats.
She is a member of the Missouri Writers Guild. But despite that bit of
conventionality, she adores all things fantasy with a special love for urban
and epic.
With a passion for good
writing and Doritos as companions, locating Middle-Earth on a dusty road in
rural Missouri wasn’t difficult. All it took was a little Magic, hours of
reading, and an overactive imagination.

Best of luck, C.D.!

If anyone is interested in helping me out, please leave a note and I'll add you to the email list.
Thank you!
