Michael Angel

The Wizard, the Warlord, and the Hidden Woman Michael Angel

How can one man stand against an army of thousands?

The ruthless Caranthine Empire invades the peaceful land of Melusia. Led by their ruthless warlord general, Lord-Captain Arakan, the Caranthine hordes descend upon the tiny kingdom. Only the wizard of the Island of Darkfell stands ready to repel the would-be conquerors.

Until something goes terribly wrong... But when a horrific accident knocks the wizard out of action, the mage's younger sister Muriel must desperately call for help. She sends her pleas to a powerful heroine she's read about via her magical scrying mirror: Leetah, the legendary Mage of the Rose.

Leetah can't help, because she's not flesh and blood. She exists only between the ears of California-based fiction writer Jason Summer. Jason's based Leetah on his longtime girlfriend, Sonja.

It's up to Jason Summer to come to the rescue. But he's got more troubles than he cares to count: he's wanted by the police, hunted by a shadowy government figure, and only has two days to figure out a way to get to the magic world of Melusia.

And if the odds weren't bad enough... Jason must face the ultimate betrayal from the woman he loves more than life itself. And if he survives that betrayal, how can he bring back the wizard of Darkfell in time to prevent Arakan from crushing Melusia under his heel?

Even with Sonja's surprising talents and the help of a wizard's kid sister, it's going to be one bumpy ride.
